Mobile Access
Mobile access is convenient and secure access with phone. Most people like keeping their phones with them. So, letting phones store access privileges is convenient for you and your users. Delivering mobile credentials to users’ phones is convenient and fast, saving time and resources. There are several service options suitable to different businesses.
Why switch to mobile access?
User-friendly
Convenience
Phone is a convenient access method, always with you. Users can obtain mobile credentials remotely when they need them, regardless of the time and place. They don’t need to pick up physical cards or tags from service desks.
As secure as contactless payment
Security
Phones securely store mobile credentials, and the data transfer encryption between phones and readers is similar to contactless payments. System can also be set to require the users to unlock the phone to access the door, which adds another layer of authentication.
Cost-savings
Easy management
Issuing mobile credentials is easy. You can choose from many flexible ways to administer and send your credentials, and free yourself from handling physical tags and issuing them to users. With Idesco ID service, you pay only for mobile ID’s you use, there are no license fees.
What is needed for mobile access?
Compatible readers
Mobile access control readers use Bluetooth (BLE) or NFC to read mobile credentials and often support traditional cards like MIFARE DESFire. This allows flexible use of both methods and enables gradual migration to mobile access. Idesco’s mobile compatible readers provide different security levels to access: 1. Hands-free, 2. Choose door in app, 3: Unlock phone’s locking screen.
Mobile access app
The free Idesco ID app is available in Google Play or the App Store. After users register their mobile IDs, the app is ready to use. Registration is simple, and the app is easy to set up. The app also creates a device ID on the phone that can be added to your system. It works as a mobile credential, if you decide to add mobile ID’s to your system one by one.
Mobile ID management
There are different ways to manage and send mobile credentials to your users’ phones. Idesco ID service offers several options: you can send many credentials at one time, issue mobile credentials 24/7 on demand, or add new credentials only occasionally. Whatever option you choose, with Idesco ID you pay only for credentials you use, no license fees.
Idesco ID Entry Level
Idesco ID Entry Level offers a simple, quick way to implement mobile access, ideal for organisations that don’t need to send credentials remotely. Users install the Idesco ID app to create a device ID, which serves as their mobile credential after enrollment via an Enrollment Station connected to a PC. Once enrolled, the mobile credential is managed in the access control system like any other access credential.
Idesco ID Enterprise Level
Idesco ID service makes deploying mobile access simple and efficient. The Enterprise Level lets you create and manage users’ mobile credentials around the clock, either through the Idesco Portal—where you can distribute credentials in bulk or individually—or by integrating with your own system via REST API. Users receive notifications and self-register on their phones. Neither Idesco Portal nor the API stores user data or becomes part of your access control system.
