Suprema Mobile Access Licence, Smartphone Access Cards, NFC and Bluetooth

Overview

Suprema Mobile Access turns a smartphone into an access card. Users tap their phone on a supported Suprema reader, or on an existing card reader fitted with an Airfob Patch, and the door opens. Administrators issue and revoke mobile cards by email from the Airfob Portal, so lost phones are dealt with remotely and new staff get a card without a visit to reception.

Is it right for you?

Choose it if you want to stop issuing plastic cards, or want phones alongside cards and biometrics at the same doors. Offices with a stable staff list and membership businesses with changing members are licensed differently, so pick the site type that matches how your users come and go.

Choosing your licence

Both types use the same app, readers and portal. They differ in how credits are counted.

• Regular Type: one credit per mobile card, with unlimited use of that card, and 50 complimentary mobile access cards on registration. For offices and businesses with many fixed users and entrances
• Dynamic Type: credits based on devices and time used, with unlimited mobile card issuance and changes to users and card design in real time, plus a one-month free trial with unlimited devices. For membership businesses such as gyms and shared offices

The site type cannot be changed after the site is created, so choose before the first card is issued. Dynamic sites need an internet connection, with a 5-minute grace period when offline. The exact licence code is confirmed on your quotation.

Software and licences

Credits are added to the Airfob Portal with a licence code. Once a code is applied it cannot be cancelled, so apply it to the right site.

Before you buy

Information on a card is hard to change after it is issued, so check user details before issuing. Tell us how many users and readers you have so we can work out the credits you need.
