Tri-Band PVC Cards (LF HF UHF)
INTRODUCTION
Are you tired of carrying around a T5577 card, a Gen2 Magic card, and a UHF card?
Hammy came up with a solution to that problem thus the development of the Tri-Band PVC Cards by MidWest Gadgets.
For my purposes, some of you know I carry a set of cards with me, as seen here
It may not sound like much, but I can now remove a card and at the same time increase my tool capability.
This unit is a First of its Kind and a Midwest Gadgets Exclusive! It evolved to answer the need for a single, reliable testing platform that covers the entire common RFID spectrum combining LF, HF, and UHF into one standard form factor.
Like an xMagic, NExT etc The Tri-Band card is a significant upgrade over standard single-frequency implant /card
TESTING INCLUDING READ RANGES
I considered doing range tests, and can if people are interested, but as it is a card, the ranges are as good as it gets
For a expectations, look at the image in the TEARDOWN
SPECIFICATIONS
It is the exact same dimensions as a standard credit card
~ 86 Ă— 54 millimeters
LF Chip:
Genuine Atmel T5577 chip (Rewritable)
HF Chip:
HF chip: Gen1a magic Mifare classic 1k 4byte UID changeable based on a Gen4 GDM derivative, limited access to the configuration block and functionality of normal Gen4 GDMs, see RFID Research Group - Notes on magic cards for more information.
UHF Chip:
EPC Changeable Gen2 UHF
Material:
PVC
PROs
• MWG Exclusive - You won’t find this anywhere else
• Consolidates three cards into one
• Genuine T5577 for maximum LF compatibility
• Magic Gen2 for HF versatility
• EPC Changeable UHF for long-range testing
• Standard card size
• Superb range
CONs
There really aren’t any cons to this, These are a real stretch…
-
Not really an issue, but due to the close proximity antennas mean you have to be mindful of which reader you are presenting to if it’s a multi-class reader.
-
Having a pre-printed diagram of antenna locations would be nice, but certainly not necessary
OR -
the following are just suggestions
-The option of a transparent version of the card
-Maybe, for a fee, a custom print design offering
-A Gen4 version, would add cost to it, but would level this card up
TEARDOWN
"HACKS
Can be programmed with Proxmark3, Flipper Zero, M1 or any standard UHF reader/writer.
The functionality
LF/HF - Standard short-range proximity testing for doors and small readers.
UHF - Long-range gate and vehicle access testing, typically used for parking garage entrances.
ALSO
Because these are PVC, they are printable. (and they already have been) You can run these through a thermal card printer to create your own custom badges or “stealth” testing tools that look like standard ID cards.
PRICE
USD $25.00
SUMMARY:
The Tri-Band PVC Card is the evolution of a tool. The addition of the UHF chip adds a function to any RFID power user.
