Schlage 8943 MIFARE DESfire Multi-Technology ISO Smart/Prox Card

The Schlage 8943 MIFARE DESFire EV3 Multi-Technology ISO Smart/Prox Card is designed for organizations that require advanced security while maintaining compatibility with existing proximity systems. This credential integrates both 13.56 MHz MIFARE DESFire EV3 smart card technology and 125 kHz proximity technology, enabling a smooth transition from legacy systems to modern encrypted smart card infrastructures.

Built on the DESFire EV3 platform, the card supports strong AES encryption, mutual authentication, and secure data communication, making it suitable for high-security access control environments. Its multi-technology design allows it to function with both proximity readers and smart card readers, reducing the need for immediate system-wide hardware replacement.

Manufactured in a standard ISO card format, the 8943 supports photo ID personalization and is compatible with most direct-to-card and retransfer ID card printers. It is widely used in enterprise environments, government facilities, healthcare campuses, educational institutions, and large organizations requiring scalable and secure credential migration strategies.

The multi-technology architecture makes this card ideal for phased upgrades, allowing organizations to maintain existing proximity infrastructure while gradually transitioning to more secure smart credential systems.
