ELATEC has unveiled its latest software development toolkit, the TWN4 DevPack 5.07, offering enhanced performance, security, and flexibility for RFID reader configuration and management.
This new version is designed to streamline the development of adaptable and future-proof access solutions.
Advancements in Authentication Solutions
"With every DevPack release, our goal is to make life easier for developers, system integrators and end users," stated Tobias Rasche, Global Head of Product Management at ELATEC GmbH.
"Version 5.07 takes another big step forward by combining deeper diagnostics, broader mobile credential support and open-standard interoperability, all in one powerful package. With this evolution, our DevPack is now more than a development toolkit—it's a comprehensive framework for building secure, flexible, and future-ready authentication solutions."
Modern Mobile and Security Capabilities
DevPack 5.07 enhances ELATEC’s support for mobile ecosystems, enabling seamless and secure authentication experiences
The DevPack 5.07 enhances ELATEC’s support for mobile ecosystems, enabling seamless and secure authentication experiences. It features built-in integration for services like Orange PackID, Transact, and AccessGrid, simplifying the deployment of mobile ID solutions across various sectors including campuses and workplace environments.
Additionally, new Bluetooth® capabilities allow developers to fully customize mobile ID experiences and seamlessly integrate ELATEC readers into existing applications and ecosystems.
This release also introduces support for PKOC (Public Key Open Credential), an open, vendor-neutral standard that enhances customer choice and strengthens protection through asymmetric cryptography, thus laying the groundwork for resilient and future-ready access systems.
Additional Features and Security Enhancements
The toolkit includes a new API for MIFARE DESFire EV2/EV3 cards, offering developers expanded flexibility in security and feature integration.
The PIN-after-card option facilitates two-factor authentication in physical access settings with wall readers equipped with keypads such as the Secustos. These updates aim to simplify mobile credential deployments while enhancing security and interoperability.
Enhanced Development and Configuration Tools
DevPack 5.07 offers faster insights into reader performance and greater control over configurations, significantly shortening update cycles for more efficient rollouts and lower maintenance costs, even in complex deployments. Key improvements include:
- Enhanced Tracer diagnostics: Improved transponder analysis and broader technology support, including HID DESFire EV3 and SEOS, facilitates quicker troubleshooting and performance validation.
- Compact OSDP configuration updates: These updates accelerate the process by a factor of 10 or more, minimizing bandwidth needs and reducing downtime.
- Wiegand configuration via AppBlaster: Expanded options for Secustos and TWN4 Palon readers simplify migration from legacy Wiegand to secure OSDP systems.
These enhancements establish DevPack 5.07 as a potent and efficient tool for the design, deployment, and maintenance of RFID systems.
Commitment to Innovation
"The new DevPack gives our partners the freedom to innovate within a secure, open and future-ready framework," mentioned Gerhard Burits, CEO of ELATEC GmbH. "It’s a perfect example of our philosophy: simplify what's complex, protect what matters and prepare for what's next."
The release of TWN4 DevPack 5.07 underscores ELATEC's continued dedication to flexibility, interoperability, and developer empowerment, facilitating the creation and maintenance of secure, scalable RFID and mobile access solutions across various industries.

PKOC gives customers maximum freedom of choice and stronger protection through asymmetric cryptography, creating a more resilient foundation for future-ready access systems.
Additional enhancements
Additional enhancements include a new API for MIFARE DESFire EV2/EV3 cards, giving developers greater flexibility in advanced security and feature integration. The PIN-after-card option enables two-factor authentication (2FA) with a well-defined authentication process in physical access (PAC) environments.
It is designed for use with wall readers featuring keypads, such as the Secustos. Together, these updates simplify mobile credential deployment while raising the bar for security and interoperability across diverse applications.
Smarter tools for development and configuration
DevPack 5.07 gives developers and integrators faster insight into reader performance, greater control over configuration and dramatically shorter update cycles. The result: quicker rollouts, easier troubleshooting and lower maintenance costs across even the most complex deployments.
Key advancements include:
- Enhanced Tracer diagnostics: Deeper transponder analysis and broader technology support—including HID DESFire EV3 and SEOS—enable faster, more accurate troubleshooting and performance validation.
- Compact OSDP configuration updates: The new configuration update cuts time for updates over OSDP by a factor of 10 or greater, minimizes bandwidth requirements and reduces downtime.
- Wiegand configuration via AppBlaster: Expanded options for Secustos and TWN4 Palon readers simplify migration from legacy Wiegand to secure OSDP systems.
These improvements make DevPack 5.07 a more powerful, efficient toolkit for building and managing RFID systems from setup through long-term maintenance.
