Ignore the actual platform itself (innerrange / bosch / tecom, etc), that technology is different and doesn't really mean much in your scope, and, at the end of the day, a huge percentage of cards, etc communicate with the platform / panel by 26 bit weigand anyway
now, those that say 26 bit weigand is insecure - probably, but, what theif is going to bother tapping into the datastream from the card reader, or trying to lever the card reader off the wall (and triggering the tamper in the iclass),
they'd just 'borrow' someones card to get into the building!
have a look at to see one of our installers that can help you with this install
Otherwise, you could alwalys go paradox EVO
() and use that with HID iclass card readers, set to high security!
