HF | NFC - RFID Reader HID - OMNIKEY® 5027

The HID Global OMNIKEY® 5027 is a powerful HF | NFC - RFID reader designed specifically for organizations that want to use their existing access cards not only for physical access control but also for strong authentication to IT systems, networks, and cloud applications. As a modern USB RFID reader, this device combines high security standards with exceptionally easy integration into existing IT environments. Companies, public authorities, healthcare organizations, pharmaceutical companies, and financial service providers benefit from a reliable and future-proof solution for managing identities efficiently and securely. As part of HID Global’s extensive portfolio, the OMNIKEY® 5027 stands for quality, compatibility, and long-term investment protection.

From a technological perspective, the HID RFID reader supports all common 13.56 MHz HF technologies, making it a versatile HF reader for a wide range of applications. These include iCLASS®, MIFARE®, and DESFire® credentials, as well as high-security technologies such as iCLASS Seos®, iCLASS SE®, and iCLASS Elite®. An integrated cryptographic module ensures that even elevated security requirements are reliably met. The OMNIKEY® 5027 is therefore ideally suited for scenarios in which a single identity medium is used both for building access and for digital authentication. Especially in regulated industries, this RFID reader enables a clear separation of user rights while maintaining a high level of user convenience.

A key advantage of the OMNIKEY® 5027 is its keyboard-wedge functionality. Card data is read contactlessly and transmitted directly to the respective application via keystroke emulation. This completely eliminates manual data entry, reducing errors and speeding up processes. The HF | NFC - RFID reader uses the native human interface device (HID) driver of the operating system, so no additional driver installation is required. This makes it a particularly flexible USB RFID reader for use with standard PCs, workstations, as well as thin- and zero-client environments. The reader is preconfigured and can be used immediately for common cards and typical use cases, significantly simplifying commissioning.

For system integrators and IT departments, the OMNIKEY® 5027 also offers extensive configuration options. Using the proven Workbench tool, parameters such as the credential type, reading of the CSN or specific PACS data fields, as well as pre- and post-keystrokes can be individually defined. Once created, configurations can be easily replicated via configuration cards or files, greatly simplifying rollouts in larger organizations. As an experienced specialist in RFID, HF, and NFC solutions, IDCRAFT GmbH supports its customers in selecting, integrating, and operating the appropriate HID RFID reader. From consulting and configuration to long-term support, IDCRAFT provides a holistic solution that combines security, efficiency, and future readiness.
