AMAG (Symmetry) AMAG Technology produces the Symmetry enterprise access control platform deployed across corporate, government, healthcare, and education facilities, with its native proprietary credential being the S10401 37-bit proximity format (originating with SETEC / MDI PointGuard). American Key Cards supplies compatible S10401 37-bit clamshell cards, ISO cards, and key fobs programmed to your facility code; AMAG Symmetry also supports standard HID Prox and 13.56 MHz MIFARE DESFire credentials, and AKC is transparent that secured DESFire smart cards cannot be duplicated by third parties. AMAG Technology Access control panels & readers 1 format 125 kHz / 13.56 MHz Avigilon Alta (Openpath) Avigilon Alta (formerly Openpath) is a Motorola/Avigilon cloud access platform whose native credentials are encrypted 13.56 MHz MIFARE DESFire EV3-based cards and fobs (plus mobile). Honest note: these native encrypted DESFire credentials are NOT clonable or duplicable — they require Avigilon's validated encryption key, so no aftermarket supplier can lawfully copy a secured Alta card. What American Key Cards can supply are standard non-OEM compatible blanks the Alta Smart Readers also accept, such as 125 kHz HID Prox and unsecured 13.56 MHz MIFARE Classic/DESFire (CSN) credentials, for readers configured to read those formats; we are not affiliated with Avigilon and never claim to clone secured credentials. Motorola Solutions / Avigilon Cloud access control 6 formats 125 kHz / 13.56 MHz AWID (Applied Wireless Identifications Group) AWID (Applied Wireless Identifications Group) produces a proprietary 125 kHz proximity platform whose air-interface encoding is distinct from HID Prox, making AWID-format cards readable only on AWID-compatible readers. American Key Cards programs and supplies compatible AWID 26-bit, 37-bit, and generic prox credentials — including the hard-to-find PW-AWID adhesive wafer — for property managers maintaining legacy AWID reader installations without going through restricted OEM channels. AWID / HID Global 125 kHz proximity 3 formats 125 kHz Brivo Brivo is a leading cloud-based access control platform widely deployed in US commercial and residential properties, supporting both standard 125 kHz proximity credentials and its own encrypted MIFARE DESFire EV3 Unified Credentials. American Key Cards supplies compatible standard 26-bit proximity cards and fobs for Brivo-managed buildings using legacy prox formats; Brivo's proprietary encrypted Unified Credentials are issued only through Brivo's platform and cannot be sourced from third parties. Brivo Cloud access control 1 format 125 kHz / 13.56 MHz Casi-Rusco / GE (UTC Interlogix) Casi-Rusco was a major legacy enterprise access control brand whose lineage passed through GE Security, UTC Fire & Security, and Interlogix, with the proprietary C10106 40-bit proximity format ('Casi 40-bit' / GE Entree) as its native credential. Because the product line was discontinued across those transitions while leaving a large installed base, very few suppliers still stock C10106 credentials. American Key Cards supplies compatible 40-bit C10106 clamshell cards, ISO cards, and key fobs programmed to your facility code, filling a hard-to-source gap for facilities still running Casi-Rusco / GE / Interlogix readers. Casi-Rusco (later GE Security / UTC Fire & Security / Interlogix) Access control panels & readers 1 format 125 kHz Continental Access (NAPCO Security) Continental Access, a NAPCO Security Group brand, deploys the CardAccess 3000 and CA4K access control platforms across mid-market commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, and government sites using standard 125 kHz Wiegand proximity credentials. American Key Cards supplies drop-in compatible 26-bit clamshell cards and key fobs for Continental Access and CA4K reader installations, programmed to your facility code at a significant saving over OEM distributor pricing. Continental Access, a NAPCO Security Group Company Access control panels & readers 1 format 125 kHz DoorKing (DKS) DoorKing (DKS) is a widely used gate and access control brand in residential and commercial properties, with its DKProx 1508-series credentials using the AWID 26-bit proximity protocol — meaning standard HID cards will not work on DKProx readers. American Key Cards supplies DKProx-compatible clamshell cards and key fobs encoded to your facility code, providing a direct-purchase alternative to DoorKing's dealer-only ordering channel. DoorKing Inc. (DKS) 125 kHz proximity 1 format 125 kHz DSX Access Systems DSX Access Systems (Dallas, TX) produces the WinDSX security management platform, which natively uses the proprietary 33-bit D10202 proximity format alongside standard 26-bit HID prox and 13.56 MHz smart card credentials. American Key Cards supplies compatible prox credentials in both the DSX-specific D10202 33-bit format and standard 26-bit H10301, each programmed to the facility code required by the customer's WinDSX installation.
