Akuvox DESFire EV3 8K Mifare Access Control Card

Akuvox DESFire EV3 8K Mifare Access Control Card

The Akuvox DESFire EV3 Card is a high-security 13.56MHz contactless credential purpose-built for use with Akuvox intercoms, door phones and access control terminals. Built on NXP's DESFire EV3 chipset with 8K of onboard memory, this ISO14443A-compliant card offers a significant security upgrade over standard Mifare Classic cards, making it ideal for apartment buildings, offices, gated communities and any site where credential cloning is a concern.

Key Features

• 13.56MHz operating frequency for fast, reliable contactless reads at Akuvox door stations and readers
• ISO14443A standard ensuring broad compatibility with compliant access control hardware
• 8K memory capacity, giving ample room for application data and multi-use scenarios
• DESFire EV3 chip architecture providing stronger cryptographic protection than legacy Mifare cards
• AES-based encrypted authentication when configured via the Akuvox ACRM writing tool, reducing the risk of unauthorised duplication
• Genuine Akuvox-issued credential designed to integrate seamlessly with Akuvox Access Control and Card Setting menus
• Supports configurable App ID, File ID and key count for flexible, site-specific encryption setups
• Durable card format suited to everyday high-traffic tap-and-go use

Typical Use Cases

This card is designed to work alongside Akuvox door phones, intercoms and access control readers that support Mifare DESFire encryption, such as A08 series devices with compatible firmware. Installers typically program the card using the Akuvox ACRM tool to set the card type to DESFire, create an application with a defined App ID and key count, and then assign the resulting card code to a user profile within the device's Access Control settings. It suits residential complexes, commercial buildings, and multi-tenant sites that need a more secure alternative to basic proximity cards while keeping full compatibility with existing Akuvox hardware.
