OTS - Elatec Brings Employee Badge for Apple Wallet to Users
2024. April 17. 08:30
Munich, 17 April, 2024 (APA/OTS) - Elatec today announced it is
bringing employee badge in Apple Wallet to its customers, enabling
an organization's employees or tenants to unlock access to
locations and devices with a simple tap of their iPhone or Apple
Watch. Powered by Elatec's Mobile Cre-dential Manager software,
which works hand-in-hand with Elatec's universal RFID readers, this
brings together the world's most pow-erful and versatile readers
with the best mobile access system available.
Employee badge in Apple Wallet helps deliver a convenient and
contactless experience for users. Once enabled, employee badge in
Apple Wallet allows users to seamlessly and securely add their
employee badge to Apple Wallet, and hold their iPhone or Apple
Watch near an NFC reader to unlock office doors, turnstiles,
eleva-tors and key card-protected amenity spaces - eliminating the
need to open an app or present a traditional, plastic access key.
With Express Mode, employees do not need to unlock their device
to use their badge in Apple Wallet. If an iPhone needs to be
charged, employees can still use their device to access their
office or amenity areas with Power Reserve.
Employees can add their employee badge to Apple Wallet after an
initial set-up through the Elatec Access app. Unlike the physical
cards, there is no wait time for gaining building credentials and
ac-cess for new employees. The Elatec Mobile Credential Manager
al-lows easy centralized management of passes, including issuing,
revoking and auditing capabilities. Administrators can manage
ac-cess permissions in real time, adapting quickly to security
needs. The software easily integrates with existing access control
hard-ware by Elatec, ensuring a smooth transition to Apple Wallet
pass-es.
Employee badges in Apple Wallet are stored on a user's device
and take full advantage of the privacy and security built into
iPhone and Apple Watch. When an employee uses a badge in Apple
Wallet, it is never shared with Apple or stored on Apple servers.
If their iPh-one or Apple Watch is misplaced, the owner of the
device can promptly use the Find My app to lock the device and help
locate it.
Mobile Credentialing
Mobile credentialing is revolutionizing the access industry.
Smartphone-based badges are more convenient for end users, and are
simpler and more cost-effective for organizations.
With the new Mobile Credentialing System for Apple Wallet,
Elatec has made the move to mobile even easier. The combination of
uni-versal readers and mobile credentialing software makes the
transi-tion to mobile passes simple and seamless.
Elatec has been a leader in the transition to mobile access
technol-ogies. Their universal TWN4 multi-technology readers
support both traditional radio frequency identification (RFID)
badges and smartphone-based credentialing systems for iOS using
Near-Field Communication (NFC).
