The use of Mobile IDs in access control grows more frequent every week. That is why Idesco’s display reader, 8 CD 2.0 Pin D, will also soon accept a mobile ID from one’s smartphone.

Interactive routines that require identification, like payment, are easily and securely managed with an RFID keypad/display reader providing a menu and displaying user-specific responses. That is why 8 CD 2.0 Pin D’s keypad is designed to flexibly support users’ need to select options and input data.

Integrating mobile ID

When one integrates mobile IDs, system management and service can actually become easier. Mobile IDs are created and stored in phones, ready-to-use, once an Idesco mobile app is installed. If one’s site prefers migrating solely to mobile ID’s, one will no longer need to purchase and code physical transponders for users.

Alternatively, one can choose to keep traditional transponders working alongside mobile IDs, if mobile ID readers will only be installed at selected access points on a site.

Useful for temporary credentialing

When deploying 8 CD 2.0 Pin D for payment, mobile IDs will also make product and service purchases easier. For starters, customers won’t need coded transponders to enter. After Idesco’s app is installed on their phone and their ID registered in the system, they can begin purchasing products or paying for services immediately.

Mobile ID is equally well-suited for temporary credentialing, for example, providing room access to hotel guests, or simplifying their purchase of additional services or restaurant meals.
