Mobile Credentials - A New Standard for Tenants in Multiple-Occupancy Buildings

Buildings with shared occupancy or co-working hubs have been using primarily standard plastic RFID cards for years regarding access control. But now, security or facility managers can benefit from a new standard - virtual or mobile credentials. By harnessing the smartphone's processing power and using smart and secure applications, it can carry out the same function as an access control card.

With the over-the-air issuance of virtual cards, credential management has become much more efficient. Included is easy credential replacement when a phone is lost or replaced and adaptability to short or long-range reading according to the needs of a particular access point. Building requirements vary, as do the capabilities of different mobile credential solutions. ADI offers a wide range of touchless mobile readers and can assist you in choosing suitable applications for your projects.
