Safetrust to provide touchless authentication for Elatec readers

August 5, 2020

Safetrust Inc., a provider of virtual credential solutions, has teamed with Elatec USA Inc., a provider radio frequency identification readers that enable user authentication for access control applications, to provide customers with a secure, contactless authentication solution for Elatec's TWN4 MultiTech family of BLE readers, according to press release. The technology integration enables Elatec customers to gain mobile access using virtual credentials stored in their Safetrust wallet application.

"Our customers increasingly want to accommodate staff smartphones, which have proliferated in their BYOD (bring your own device) organizations," Paul Massey, CEO, Elatec Inc., said in the press release. "Mobile credentials are secure, convenient and easy to use. Our 'universal' RFID, NFC and BLE readers address the needs of companies looking for physical or logical access solutions that work with mobile credentials such as those provided by Safetrust."

Elatec customers can use the Safetrust wallet to authenticate for a wide range of applications, such as building access, secure-print, single sign-on, vending and dispensing, vehicle fleet management and other activities. With support for both existing RFID badges and virtual credentials from Safetrust, Elatec customers can migrate to a contactless workplace at their own pace.
