Avigilon Alta (Openpath) Compatible Cards & Fobs
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.
