The HID Omnikey 5427 CK is a dual-frequency credential reader that handles both low and high-frequency cards, Bluetooth, and Apple Wallet — the kind of device you install once and don't have to revisit when your access infrastructure evolves. It reads HID mobile access credentials from up to 2 metres away via a directional antenna, which matters in high-throughput environments where people aren't stopping to tap a card.

Apple Wallet compatibility and a Bluetooth interface mean the reader works with how staff and visitors actually carry credentials today — on a phone. The keyboard wedge interface keeps integration straightforward, while flexible configuration of data structures and output modes lets it fit into existing systems without forcing a complete overhaul. It's also available as a reader board for organisations looking to embed it directly into custom hardware or enclosures.

A solid choice for IT managers and facilities teams who need a single reader to cover multiple credential types — physical cards, mobile, and contactless — without deploying separate hardware for each. Manufacturer part number: R54270111-UNI.
