Architect® Blue Hybrid & Touchscreen

125 kHz, 13.56 MHz DESFire® EV3 & Bluetooth® Multi-Technology Touchscreen Keypad Reader

The Architect® Blue Hybrid touchscreen reader facilitates your transition to secure and mobile technologies. It combines three identification technologies 125 kHz, 13.56 MHz and Bluetooth® with a customizable color touchscreen.

Secure Scramble Pad Feature
The reader protects access against the fraudulent use of identification codes by the random display of the keys.

An Intuitive Display Experience
Unlock a world of possibilities with a touchscreen reader! It displays your logos, provides clear instructions, delivers personalized messages, activates a convenient doorbell button, and reveals an intuitive keypad.

Intuitive Identification, Better User Experience
The reader supports STid Mobile ID® user-friendly solution and offers six unique user interaction modes for intuitive contactless identification:
• Card mode: present your smartphone or wearable to the reader like a conventional access card.
• Slide mode: your hand becomes your access card.
• Tap Tap mode: tap tap the smartphone in your pocket to gain access.
• Remote mode: use the “remote button” to conveniently access car parks or other vehicle entrances.
