rf IDEAS RDR-30581BKU pcProx Plus BLE Desktop Keystroke USB Reader

The pcProx Plus BLE combines a dual frequency programmable card reader with integrated Bluetooth low energy technology. In addition to reading both proximity (125/132 kHz) and contactless (13.56 MHz) smart cards, the reader also interacts with Bluetooth low energy enabled mobile devices. Depending on the end user's

application software, the pcProx Plus BLE can utilize Bluetooth low energy beaconing to serve use cases, such as in-building location and secure authentication. Bluetooth low energy enabled mobile devices can carry secure authentication and identification credentials, making it ideal for a variety of applications in every industry. Combined with third party wayfinding software and beacons, the pcProx Plus BLE helps personnel find the nearest secure device such as a printer, terminal or dispenser.

Mobile Credentials

Advancements with mobile credentials makes the pcProx Plus BLE the ideal investment to support existing infrastructures without sacrificing performance. The pcProx Plus BLE Badge and Mobile Credential Reader is compatible with the industry-leading Pack ID mobile credential solution from Orange Business Services through RF IDeas. Also available for iOS and Android, the Wave ID Mobile Demo credential app provides an example for customers who want to develop their own applications for authentication from a mobile smart device. Users can build and develop applications for the pcProx Plus BLE and even combine traditional card technology to control and monitor access to secure devices, utilize beaconing for asset tracking location, enhance Single Sign On, Time and Attendance and more.

Simplify Authentication

RF IDeas programmable card readers enable customers seeking to leverage their existing card system or mobile device for applications beyond building access. Badge-based reader solutions eliminate the need to manually enter user names and passwords, streamlining workflow and eliminating errors for identification.

Other features include:

• Dual card reader and Bluetooth low energy module in one device, saving a USB port for other peripherals
• Instant identification and authentication with your mobile smart device or employee ID badge
• Four ID badge (card) configurations to accommodate multi-card systems
• User-selectable volume control including a beeper on/off setting selection

Seamless Integration

The pcProx Plus BLE reader easily integrates into existing badge systems, eliminating the need for additional badges or readers while increasing the number of applications that require employee authentication and identification. The reader emulates a keyboard by keystroking badge information into a text editor screen such as Microsoft Notepad. Its plug-and-play functionality requires no additional software for seamless integration with most common operating systems and applications compatible with USB keyboard inputs. The RF IDeas Universal Software Developers Kit (SDK) enables developers to easily integrate the pcProx Plus Bluetooth low energy readers into their application software programs. Software developers can easily create solutions that leverage the use of employee physical or mobile credential data, resulting in added benefits to their applications such as single sign-on, compliance reporting, cashless cafeteria, industrial vending or time and attendance.
