The benefits of mobile IDs, or when your smartphone is the key to all doors

Modern access control systems “understand” different types of identifiers: classic 125 kHz proximity cards or key fobs, MIFARE Classic cards or bracelets, MIFARE Plus and MIFARE DesFire EV1/EV2/EV3 secure cards, active car tags, and bank cards.

However, such “traditional” identifiers have significant drawbacks: they can be forgotten at home or lost, and 125 kHz proximity cards and MIFARE Classic can be copied.

But the real step into the future is the U-PROX ID mobile identifier.

Your smartphone becomes an electronic key that works at a distance of 20 cm to 15 m via BLE 2.4 GHz or NFC at a distance of up to 5 cm.

Each mobile identifier is linked to a specific device/account, and access to the application can be additionally protected by biometrics or a smartphone password.

From now on, you always have your “card” at hand, and you don’t have to worry about losing it.

Businesses benefit from the ability to remotely issue and revoke passes, scale without printing plastic, movement analytics, and secure integration with existing ACSs thanks to an open API.

Advantages of an electronic key in a smartphone for the user:

• store several keys in your phone at once – office, gym, parking lot, etc.
• always with you – smartphones are rarely forgotten at home, unlike cards
• convenience of opening doors – different modes of operation: by turning on the screen, hands-free mode, without taking the phone out of your pocket
• versatility – one app to open doors near and far – parking barrier
• security – secure data transfer protocol.

Advantages of using an electronic key for business:

• local system – use of electronic keys as part of
• in the cloud access control system – use of revocable electronic keys as part of the U-PROX ACS Cloud access control system
• centralized management of electronic keys – administrators can remotely issue or revoke access through the cloud service
• convenience – remote sending of keys to users in case of loss or accidental deletion
• flexibility – the ability to customize access rights for employees

Thus, U-PROX mobile identifiers are a modern, secure and convenient access control solution. They combine innovative technology with ease of use, making them ideal for both personal and corporate use.
