HF | NFC - RFID Reader HID - OMNIKEY® 5422

The OMNIKEY® 5422 from HID Global is a powerful and versatile HF | NFC - RFID reader designed specifically for modern IT and security infrastructures. As a professional USB RFID reader, this device combines contact-based and contactless smart card technologies in a single, compact desktop reader. This makes the OMNIKEY 5422 ideal for organizations that use multiple authentication media in parallel or wish to gradually migrate from traditional chip cards to modern HF reader and NFC RFID solutions. Thanks to its dual-interface design, the device supports both 13.56 MHz contactless smart cards and nearly all common contact-based smart cards. Compliance with international standards ISO 14443 A/B and ISO 7816 ensures maximum compatibility with existing systems, operating systems, and applications, making this RFID reader a future-proof investment.

In daily operation, the HID RFID reader impresses with high user convenience, fast response times, and a high level of security. Contactless HF | NFC - RFID technology enables efficient and user-friendly authentication at PCs, workstations, networks, as well as cloud-based applications and web services. Leading high-frequency card technologies such as iCLASS®, MIFARE®, and MIFARE DESFire® are supported, along with modern FIDO2 NFC authenticators. As a result, the OMNIKEY 5422 is ideally suited for security-critical scenarios such as single sign-on, identity and access management, e-government, financial services, or healthcare. Organizations benefit from consistent and secure user authentication, while administrators gain a standardized and easy-to-manage RFID reader infrastructure.

Another key advantage of this USB RFID reader is its simple integration into existing IT environments. The OMNIKEY 5422 uses a native CCID driver, meaning no additional driver installation is required. This significantly reduces administrative effort and enables rapid rollout, even in large organizations or distributed environments. The HID RFID reader is compatible with all common operating systems and can be used with traditional PCs and workstations as well as thin and zero clients. In addition, the device is fully integrated into HID Global ActivID® ActivClient and ActivID® applets and has been extensively tested. This close integration with established security solutions ensures high stability, reliability, and interoperability in demanding enterprise environments.
