OMNIKEY 5422 Dual Interface USB Smart Card Reader with RFID, NFC and FIDO2

OMNIKEY 5422 Dual Interface for contact and contactless smart cards

The OMNIKEY 5422 Dual Interface is an advanced USB smart card reader that combines two technologies in one device. It can read both contact-based smart cards according to ISO 7816 and contactless RFID and NFC cards according to ISO 14443.

It is developed for organizations that use both legacy and modern card technologies or that are planning a gradual transition from contact cards to contactless solutions.

The reader is used in companies, government agencies, healthcare, finance and other businesses where secure authentication and identity management is a central part of the IT environment.

Contact and contactless in the same reader

The OMNIKEY 5422 eliminates the need for multiple card readers by handling both contact and contactless cards in the same device.

This makes it perfect for:

• Migration to new card systems
• Hybrid environments
• Companies with multiple card types
• Secure login
• Pass system
• PKI certificate
• Digital identification

Password-free authentication with FIDO2

OMNIKEY 5422 fully supports FIDO2 and enables secure password-free authentication to computers, cloud services and business systems.

Through public key cryptography, the organization receives effective protection against phishing, stolen passwords and other identity-related attacks.

The reader is therefore ideally suited for modern MFA solutions and Zero Trust environments.

Support for popular RFID technologies

The contactless part supports several of the market's most common high-frequency RFID standards.

Compatible with, among others:

• MIFARE®
• MIFARE DESFire®
• iCLASS®
• NFC

The contact-based part supports a large number of smart cards according to ISO 7816.

Simple installation

The OMNIKEY 5422 uses USB CCID which means it works directly with most modern operating systems without the installation of additional drivers.

Compatible with:

• Windows
• macOS
• Linux
• Android
• ChromeOS
• Thin Clients

Extend the use of existing access cards

With OMNIKEY 5422, the same RFID card can be used for both physical access control and secure login to computers, networks and cloud services.

This reduces the need for multiple identity carriers and simplifies administration.
