FORT COLLINS, Colo. — AuthorizID, a Fort Collins-based supplier of professional access-control credentials, now offers a complete lineup of AWID-compatible access cards and key fobs in 26-bit, 34-bit, 36-bit and 50-bit formats.
The 125 kHz proximity credentials are available to businesses, property managers, integrators, schools, healthcare facilities, homeowners associations, warehouses and other organizations throughout Northern Colorado and across the country.
AWID proximity technology has long been used in commercial access-control systems for its reliable read performance and broad reader compatibility. AuthorizID’s compatible credentials are designed to work with existing AWID installations, allowing facilities to maintain, replace or expand their systems without replacing existing hardware.
AuthorizID can program credentials to match the format, facility code and numbering already used by an organization’s access-control system.
Understanding AWID Formats
AWID credentials are issued in several Wiegand bit formats. Selecting the correct format is essential to reliable performance.
26-bit: The most widely used AWID format, based on the standard 26-bit Wiegand structure with an 8-bit facility code. It is a common option for straightforward deployments and replacement credentials.
34-bit: An expanded format that operates similarly to the 26-bit format while supporting a larger range of card identification numbers.
36-bit: A higher-capacity format offering additional flexibility for organizations requiring more issuable numbers or specialized card numbering.
50-bit: The largest of the commonly used AWID formats, offering a significantly expanded card identification range. It may be used for large credential populations or when integrating older AWID systems with modern controllers.
