Architect® Blue Hybrid & Keypad

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

STid has designed the Architect® Blue Hybrid 125 kHz + 13.56 MHz + Bluetooth® vandal-proof keypad reader for access control to facilitate your transition to advanced security levels and mobile technologies.

Highly Versatile
The reader ensures a gradual transition to advanced security levels. It supports the widest range of contactless identification technologies – legacy 125 kHz technologies (EM®, NEDAP®, CROSSPOINT®), 13.56 MHz MIFARE® DESFire® EV3 and STid Mobile ID® Bluetooth® and NFC virtual cards. It also features Apple’s Enhanced Contactless Polling (ECP) to store credentials in the Apple Wallet.

Intuitive Identification, Better User Experience
The reader supports STid Mobile ID® user-friendly solution and offers five unique user interaction modes for intuitive contactless identification:
• Card mode: present your smartphone or wearable to the reader like a conventional 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.
• Hands-free mode: simply walk towards the reader without any further action.
• Voice command: use SIRI voice command on your iPhone (iOS) or Apple Watch.

Multi-Functional Keypad
The keypad can be used for identification or to activate additional functions (alarm…). The same reader can also operate in multiple mode. It authorizes, for example, the reading of cards for personnel or the entry of codes for visitors or temporary workers.

Two-Factor Authentication
The reader combines the reading of a credential with the input of a personal keypad code to improve the security levels.
