125KHz PA2183 and PA2713 RFID Modules – GIGA-TMS

Trend of Replacing Magnetic Stripe Readers with RFID

For decades, Magnetic Stripe Readers (MSRs) have been widely used in access control, time attendance, payment, and user identification systems. MSRs are cost-effective and easy to deploy. However, this technology shows several limitations as demands for security and efficiency increase:

• Cards are easily damaged: A minor scratch or bend can make the card unreadable.

• Low security: Data on the magnetic stripe can be easily copied using unauthorized readers.

• Limited lifespan: Physical contact during swiping wears out both the card and reader.

• Slower processing: Users must swipe the card precisely through the reader.

In contrast, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) offers significant advantages:

• Contactless reading

• Fast processing with high accuracy

• Enhanced security with encryption

• Longer lifespan due to no mechanical wear

Therefore, replacing Magnetic Stripe Readers with RFID has become an inevitable trend in the Auto-ID (Automatic Identification) industry. PROMAG’s PA2183 / PA2713 – GIGA-TMS solution is the smartest choice to upgrade your system efficiently.

Overview of Module PA2183 / PA2713 – GIGA-TMS

The PA2183 / PA2713 are RFID reader modules specifically designed to replace Magnetic Stripe Readers in automated identification systems. They provide a cost-effective and quick upgrade solution while ensuring superior performance.

Key Differentiators

• MSR-compatible interface: Can directly replace MSR modules without system modification.

• Supports 2 popular frequency bands: 125kHz (LF) and 13.56MHz (HF).

• Versatile applications: Access control, time attendance, parking management, POS, hospitals, schools.

• Easy installation: Module replacement takes only a few minutes.

Outstanding Advantages of PA2183 / PA2713

• Easy upgrade, cost-effective
  No need to replace the entire system → simply swap the MSR module with PA2183 / PA2713. Saves both investment and deployment time.

• Fast, contactless reading
  Simply bring the card close, and data is read instantly → eliminates repeated swiping.

• High security
  RFID technology supports data encryption, preventing unauthorized card copying.

• Durable and long-lasting
  No physical friction between card and reader → reduces wear, extends lifespan.

• Flexible applications
  Suitable for various sectors: enterprises, banks, hospitals, schools, smart parking.
