A mobile smartphone access control ID solution. Based upon the proven LEGIC contactless digital radio frequency identification (RFID) platform, RCI Conekt readers interface with a wide range of electronic access control systems by complying with either the legacy Wiegand or the latest bi-directional Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP). They offer value-added features such as MAXSecure, and can be ordered to support several proximity card and tag technologies. In addition to traditional proximity credentials, such as clamshell cards and key tags, the platform also offers the option of mobile access credentials loaded on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)-enabled smartphones. This allows the smartphone to function as a contactless electronic access control credential.
