AWID Access Control Readers & Long-Range RFID Readers
Shop AWID access control readers for proximity, UHF and long-range RFID applications. AWID reader options support traditional door access, desktop and mid-range identification, vehicle access, parking facilities, gated entrances and other applications where dependable credential reading is required.
This category includes AWID 125kHz low-frequency readers, higher-frequency and UHF readers, long-range vehicle identification products and related reader accessories. Choose the reader technology that matches your credential type, required read range, installation environment and access control system.
Choosing the Right AWID Reader
Start with the credential technology already used by your facility. AWID 125kHz proximity readers are designed for conventional close-range access applications, while AWID UHF readers are intended for longer-range identification such as parking gates, vehicle entrances and hands-free access. Reader frequency alone does not determine compatibility, so confirm the credential technology, output requirements and access control panel before ordering.
Also consider the required reading distance, mounting location, indoor or outdoor exposure and whether the installation requires standard door access, mid-range identification or long-range vehicle detection.

The LR-3000 operates in the 902–928 MHz UHF band and is designed for applications including gated entrances, parking facilities, fleet access and automated vehicle identification. With compatible AWID UHF credentials, it can provide read distances of up to 25 feet depending on installation conditions. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Match the Reader to the Credential
AWID readers are designed around specific credential technologies. A 125kHz proximity reader is not interchangeable with a UHF long-range reader, and compatible credentials must be selected for the reader technology in use.
