In the modern world, a single layer of security is sometimes not enough. Premises with sensitive areas or higher-security rooms often benefit from an extra deterrent against unauthorised access. In many sectors, regulations require it. Implementing reliable digital two-factor authentication (2FA) – without adding delays or complexity at the door – is the most convenient, compliant solution. It keeps premises and their users safer from an evolving range of threats.
The SMARTair® i-reader Keypad was designed to meet this need for additional security, offering PIN, credential, or PIN+credential (2FA) access within a SMARTair digital access system. This new device extends the functionality of the SMARTair i-reader, already deployed successfully in diverse settings, and is compatible with SMARTair Wireless Online, Update on Card, and Openow system administration options.
