What are the advantages of proximity card readers?
With insert readers, cards can be inserted the wrong way. It is also sometimes difficult for drivers pulling up to insert readers to reach the slot. Proximity cards need only be held near the reader. With read ranges of up to 8 feet, human error is eliminated. Also, proximity cards are sealed and cannot be altered or erased. Cards with magnetic stripes, smart chips and other visible media can be altered, copied or erased.
