The HID Omnikey 5022CL is a compact, dual-interface smart card reader designed for organisations that need reliable, secure access control without the complication of managing separate readers for contact and contactless cards. A single device handles both — reading and writing to 13.56 MHz contactless smart cards while remaining compatible with virtually all contact smart cards and operating systems in common use.

Installation is straightforward, and the reader's PC-linked design means it integrates cleanly into existing access control and identity management infrastructure. ISO 14443 A/B compliance ensures broad interoperability with the contactless smart cards most commonly deployed across European organisations — so there's no need to second-guess compatibility before you buy.

For IT managers, security teams, and facilities professionals sourcing card readers for a multi-credential environment, the Omnikey 5022CL is the kind of hardware that earns its place on the desk by simply doing the job without fuss. Manufacturer part number: R50220318-GR.
