I highly doubt the long range will come from the cards, it will come from the reader. These cards are simple RF cards. Basically a chip with an antenna wrapped around it. The reader supplies the power via RF and then reads the chip. The stronger the signal from the reader, the greater the range.

The only way you should need a new card is if the new reader requires a different chip that provides a different reply when queried - and if that happens, everyone would need to be issued new cards.
