What mobile credential is<br>right for me?
Bluetooth and NFC credentials are both used for mobile access control, but they differ in range, interaction, and convenience.
BLE Credentials
Rely on Bluetooth Low Energy to communicate with readers over a longer range, up to 30 feet or more. Designed for hands-free interactions, Bluetooth credentials can automatically unlock access as you approach, Bluetooth can be a great option for logical access and tracking applications that don’t necessarily require the closest proximity or ironclad assurance of user intent — for example, drive-up access to a parking garage or walk-up unlocking of equipment.
NFC Credentials
NFC credentials use short-range communication, requiring the device to be within a few inches of the reader. With tap-and-go simplicity, a very short range, and the same security technologies used in contactless payment cards, NFC is an ideal option for applications that depend on next-level security with an absolute assurance of user intent — for example, access to corporate networks, protected health information, financial transactions and more.
