Are proximity cards RFID?

Are proximity cards RFID?

Both proximity and contactless cards employ the same fundamental technology–radio frequency identification (RFID)–for operation.

How does a HID proximity card work?

The proximity card readers use an electromagnetic field to detect nearby cards and transmit data through the reader to the access control panel. If the card is authorized, the control panel sends a signal back to the reader to trigger a door unlock.

Is HID RFID or NFC?

The HID Prox system operates at a carrier frequency of 125 kHz. NFC operates at 13.56 MHz. Consequently, it’s impossible to read HID Prox cards with an NFC reader. But if you will android HCE, the android device can act as HID tag which can we read by RFID reader.
