RFID and Smartphone Readers in Physical Access Control

Physical access goes beyond the front door; access control systems are essential anywhere you want to limit the people who can enter, open or utilize a physical asset.

An effective physical access control solution helps organizations manage large numbers of people with varied authorizations for different parts of a facility. Whether that be a corporate office, airport, campus or hospital, an ideal system would leverage a single technology for access to all the needed facilities.

In this white paper, ELATEC explores how the best solution may be one that everyone already has in their pockets: a smartphone utilizing NFC or BLE or an ID card with RFID transponder technology.

What's inside?

• How RFID / NFC / BLE can give users fast, secure and reliable access to buildings and more
• Challenges with implementation
• A future-proof vision of RFID reader security and customization
