The need for convenience and security are powering demand for mobile access solutions. To maximize choice for customers and building users, Aperio wireless devices now support employee badge, student ID, resident key, and room key in Apple Wallet.
According to industry research, the use of mobile devices to move around a building is growing globally. This trend is reflected in a survey for the latest Wireless Access Control Report, which found 29% of organizations surveyed — around Europe, the Middle East and India — already use mobile credentials.
Another 40% anticipate deployment within the next two years.
“Proponents point towards improved convenience for users and administrators, as well as creating an additional security layer where phones require a method of authentication before they can be used,” notes the Report.
Aperio wireless locking technology has convenient mobile access built-in. It uses HID Seos, a next-generation platform with class-leading cryptography, authentication and privacy protection.
Aperio’s open-platform security and compatibility backbone ensures it supports a wide range of RFID and mobile credentials, including the option to run multiple authentication technologies in parallel if required.
Now, Aperio works with your keys in Apple Wallet, too.
All users need is an iPhone
Utilizing HID Seos technology, Aperio seamlessly supports employee badge, student ID, resident key, and room key in Apple Wallet, enabling effortless access for users via their iPhone or Apple Watch.
When the access control system provider also supports keys in Apple Wallet, this digital compatibility grants users quick, convenient entry to doors, cabinets, lockers, server racks and more, simply by presenting their iPhone or Apple Watch at the Aperio locks’ inbuilt reader.
Leveraging keys in Apple Wallet's diverse features such as express mode and power reserve have made mobile access increasingly effortless and convenient.
Every stakeholder benefits with keys in Apple Wallet
With this latest compatibility extension, that includes support for DESFire technology too, OEMs and systems integrators can be confident that Aperio devices are ready, whenever they are, to integrate keys in Apple Wallet support with their system.
And existing Aperio users can effortlessly transition to the latest technologies without being tied down, ensuring they are always equipped to meet evolving security demands and new challenges.
