HID iCLASS SE Express R10 — Value-Tier Mullion Smart Card Reader
The HID iCLASS SE Express R10 is the value-tier mullion-format reader from HID Global’s iCLASS SE Express line — supporting iCLASS SE and SEOS 13.56 MHz credentials at lower cost than the full iCLASS SE R10. Wiegand output, IP55-rated for indoor and protected outdoor positions.
Where it earns its keep: a condo board that wants smart card security on the elevator panel or a narrow storefront frame but balks at the full R10 price. Same iCLASS SE encryption, same mullion footprint, less money per opening.
