Card layouts

Nexus provides standard templates for the three standard card types. As part of the implementation project for the Physical ID module, Nexus consultants or partners do the following customizations of the layouts:

  • insert customer's logotype

  • change colors

  • change text fields

  • select orientation (landscape or portrait)

RFID technology

Most common RFID technologies are supported in the Physical ID module, both low frequency (125 kHz) and high frequency (13.56 MHz) technologies, for example:

  • Electro-marine (EM) - 125 kHz

  • MIFARE DESFire - 13,56 MHz

  • Legic - 13,56 MHz

Two RFID technologies can be combined on the same card. For a complete list of supported RFID technologies, see Card SDK requirements and interoperability. 

It is assumed that the customer provides the encoding details. As an additional service, Nexus can help out to find out the required encoding details.
