New GIS WinLock for 13.56 MHz: Secure, Contactless Login to Your Windows PC

With the new GIS WinLock for 13.56 MHz, GIS introduces a compact RFID reader that makes contactless login to the PC simple, secure and convenient. The GIS WinLock HF reader is designed for all workplaces where users regularly log in and out of Windows systems – for example in production, logistics, healthcare, laboratories or shared office workstations.

How it works

The principle is straightforward: as soon as a registered 13.56 MHz RFID transponder (card, tag or token) is detected by the GIS WinLock reader, the PC is automatically unlocked. When the transponder is removed, the workstation can be locked again, helping to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access. This ensures that only authorized employees can access the system – without passwords being written down, shared or forgotten.

The GIS TS-WinLock HF reader is connected directly to the PC via USB and behaves like a standard input device. This makes integration into existing IT environments particularly easy. The WinLock solution supports common Windows operating systems from Windows 7 up to Windows 11 in 32- and 64-bit versions, making it ideal for both modern and long-term industrial installations.

Flexibility for existing RFID infrastructures

For companies that have already implemented 125 kHz RFID transponders, an equivalent GIS WinLock for 125 kHz remains available. This gives organizations the flexibility to choose the technology that best matches their existing RFID infrastructure – or to gradually migrate to the 13.56 MHz HF system.

By combining RFID-based authentication with contactless operation, GIS WinLock helps increase security and efficiency at the same time. Logins become faster, user management is simplified and compliance requirements for access protection can be better supported.
