What is a dual technology card?

Dual technology cards are becoming increasingly popular in various sectors, such as the hotel industry, corporate sector, or healthcare. With dual technology, you only need one card to streamline certain activities.

A dual technology card combines multiple types of RFID chips, allowing you to use one card for door access, payments, and check-in and check-out.

Before dual technology cards, organizations could only use cards with a single RFID frequency. A single card with dual technology simplifies card usage within your organization and ensures you don't need an abundance of cards.

Dual Technology in Practice

There are many environments where dual technology cards offer significant efficiency improvements.

Cruise Industry

One sector that has embraced this technology is the cruise industry. Cruise ships use dual technology cards to combine a payment method and a room key into a single card.

Parking and Door Access

Companies use this type of card to make it easier for authorized employees to enter the building, by combining parking and door access into the same card.

Three RFID Frequencies

There are three RFID frequencies: low, high, and ultra-high frequency. Each frequency has a different range between the card and the card reader.
