Elatec Brings Employee Badge for Apple Wallet to Users

Munich (ots) - Elatec today announced it is bringing employee badge in Apple
Wallet to its customers, enabling an organization's employees or tenants to
unlock access to locations and devices with a simple tap of their iPhone or
Apple Watch. Powered by Elatec's Mobile Credential Manager software, which works
hand-in-hand with Elatec's universal RFID readers, this brings together the
world's most powerful and versatile readers with the best mobile access system
available.

Employee badge in Apple Wallet helps deliver a convenient and contactless
experience for users. Once enabled, employee badge in Apple Wallet allows users
to seamlessly and securely add their employee badge to Apple Wallet, and hold
their iPhone or Apple Watch near an NFC reader to unlock office doors,
turnstiles, elevators and key card-protected amenity spaces - eliminating the
need to open an app or present a traditional, plastic access key.

With Express Mode, employees do not need to unlock their device to use their
badge in Apple Wallet. If an iPhone needs to be charged, employees can still use
their device to access their office or amenity areas with Power Reserve.

Employees can add their employee badge to Apple Wallet after an initial set-up
through the Elatec Access app. Unlike the physical cards, there is no wait time
for gaining building credentials and access for new employees. The Elatec Mobile
Credential Manager allows easy centralized management of passes, including
issuing, revoking and auditing capabilities. Administrators can manage access
permissions in real time, adapting quickly to security needs. The software
easily integrates with existing access control hardware by Elatec, ensuring a
smooth transition to Apple Wallet passes.

Employee badges in Apple Wallet are stored on a user's device and take full
advantage of the privacy and security built into iPhone and Apple Watch. When an
employee uses a badge in Apple Wallet, it is never shared with Apple or stored
on Apple servers. If their iPhone or Apple Watch is misplaced, the owner of the
device can promptly use the Find My app to lock the device and help locate it.

Mobile Credentialing

Mobile credentialing is revolutionizing the access industry. Smartphone-based
badges are more convenient for end users, and are simpler and more
cost-effective for organizations.

With the new Mobile Credentialing System for Apple Wallet, Elatec has made the
move to mobile even easier. The combination of universal readers and mobile
credentialing software makes the transition to mobile passes simple and
seamless.

Elatec has been a leader in the transition to mobile access technologies. Their
universal TWN4 multi-technology readers support both traditional radio frequency
identification (RFID) badges and smartphone-based credentialing systems for iOS
using Near-Field Communication (NFC).
