Mobile Access is gaining popularity for employee credentials. As work environments become mobile-friendly, transitioning to mobile credentials is the next step for organizations.
There have been numerous approaches to enabling mobile access control, such as microSDs, add-on sleeves, MIFARE Classic, NFC Peer-to-Peer, and Bluetooth Classic. Historically, these technologies have their own set of challenges and have been adapted to create more effective mobile access technologies.
1) Near Field Communication (NFC)
Cons with this technology: Currently, this technology is not supported by iPhone.
2) Bluetooth Smart
Managing employee credentials is a time-consuming process that can take up valuable time and resources. The development of technologies supporting mobile credentials touches on a pain point the security industry faces daily. Rather than ordering and printing ID cards, managing mobile credentials allows your employees to virtually receive their credentials. The employee simply has to open up an app to receive their credentials instead of spending time going to get their physical badge. As these technologies develop, mobile credentials will become the norm.
