- Magnetic Stripe Cards: Dual-encoding credentials that combine a 125 kHz proximity chip with a high-coercivity magnetic stripe for legacy payment or tracking systems.
- Key Fobs & Keychains: Compact plastic fobs containing a mini proximity antenna, ideal for everyday key rings.
- Adhesive Tags: Thin sticker-like transponders that can be attached to smartphones, ID badges, or wallets.
- Active Tags: Battery-powered long-range tags (like the HID ProxPass) used mainly for automated vehicle gate access.
