NORTEK MOBILE-READY CONTACTLESS SMARTCARD READER

A key component of a physical security electronic access control system, a mobile-ready reader combining BLE and contactless smartcard technologies is based on RFID technology. In operation it is capable of reading data stored on a contactless smartcard credential via high frequency—or reading data from mobile credential stored in a smartphone’s wallet app via BLE technology—and without physical contact, and then passing the data obtained to the physical access control system. Access control systems typically manage and record the movement of individuals through a protected area, such as a locked door.
