Suprema Airfob Patch AP-M Mobile to Card Converter for Existing Card Readers, Battery Free

Overview

The Suprema Airfob Patch AP-M sticks onto an existing RFID card reader and lets people open the door with their phone. It turns the phone’s Bluetooth (BLE) signal into a card signal the reader understands, so offices, gyms and buildings can add phone access without replacing readers.

Is it right for you?

Choose it if your readers use 13.56 MHz MIFARE card serial numbers and you want phone access at doors, speed gates, printers or PC log-in points. It is not a reader by itself and does nothing without an existing card reader.

Key features

• Converts Bluetooth (BLE 4.0) from Android and iOS phones to a 13.56 MHz MIFARE CSN card signal
• No battery: powered by the reader’s RF field
• Adhesive backed, no wiring or building work
• LED shows power and card emulation
• IP65

What else you need

• An existing 13.56 MHz card reader that accepts MIFARE card serial numbers
• Suprema Mobile Access: the Airfob Pass app on each phone and mobile access cards issued through the Airfob Portal

Installation

It sticks onto the face of the existing card reader. No wiring or building work is needed.

Software and licences

Phones carry a mobile access card in the Suprema Airfob Pass app, issued through the Suprema Airfob Portal. It works with BioStar 2 or third-party access control systems.

Before you buy

• Check your reader reads MIFARE card serial numbers (CSN); NFC smart card mode needs extra set-up
• Phones need Suprema Mobile Access set up before they can be used
