13.56 MHz HID vs NXP Credential Usage Statistics
More than half of the access control industry uses high-frequency credentials. But out of a great variety of protocols, including ones from HID and NXP, which are used the most?
IPVM examined responses from 130+ integrators and outlined the most widely used options along with integrators' feedback.
This is our first survey on the HF credentials, and we plan to survey integrators on their most widely used protocols in the future.
