TAP & GO
Your phone is your key.
Walk up to the reader, tap your phone, the door opens. No screen activation, no PIN, no app launch — same gesture as a physical card, but with none of the card-management overhead. Works on iOS 7+ via Apple HCE and Android 9+ via NFC HCE, with BLE 4.2 as the fallback path for older devices and Airfob Patch retrofits.
CLOUD LIFECYCLE
Issue. Revoke. Audit. From anywhere.
The Suprema Airfob Portal handles the full credential lifecycle from the cloud. Email a credential link to a new joiner and they have access in seconds. Lose a phone? Revoke instantly across every linked reader — no card walks of shame, no plastic to chase down. All issuance and revocation actions are audited.
- Email-based issuance — Joiners enrol via a single link in their inbox
- Instant revocation — Lost device or termination — credential dies immediately
- ISO 27001 platform — Certified credential issuance, AES-256 encrypted end-to-end
WORKS WITH WHAT YOU HAVE
Native on Suprema readers. Retrofit anywhere else.
Mobile Access works natively on BioStation 2a / 3 / 3 Max, FaceStation F2, BioLite N2, BioEntry W2 / W3 and X-Station 2. For existing card readers that aren't NFC-enabled, the Airfob Patch retrofit module converts any 13.56 MHz reader into a BLE credential receiver — same user experience, same Airfob Portal, no door hardware replacement.
