WAVE ID®: one platform, endless possibilities
The core of the rf IDEAS offering is the WAVE ID® line, a comprehensive range of readers designed to read physical and digital credentials, including on mobile devices.
WAVE ID® devices support:
- Low and high frequency RFID (ex. HID Prox, MIFARE, iCLASS, LEGIC)
- NFC and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for smartphones and mobile devices
- Digital badges on Apple Wallet and HID Mobile Access
- Bometrics with readers such as WAVE ID® Bio, which combines badges and fingerprints for double authentication
Plug-and-play, wherever you need it
IDEAS RF readers are designed for simple and immediate installation:
- Connection via USB, serial, Ethernet, or Wi-Fi
