NFC-enabled mobile wallet passes are a convenient and secure way to identify people when using machinery. Gym members can benefit from fitness equipment being automatically configured to their preference and sharing their workout performance data with their account. Our reader modules are available to OEM manufacturers with full certifications, custom antennas and more.
Because NFC wallet passes are so quick and easy to use, they make equipment check-in near effortless – improving the user experience and streamlining operation processes. It can even win you new customers who prefer the convenience and ease of using their smart devices to access everything you have to offer.
Super convenient, speedy check-in
VTAP wallet readers auto-select the relevant NFC pass on a device the instant it comes in range, so users register on equipment with just a ‘tap’ of their phone or Apple Watch.
People tend to always have their phones within reach, so they’re naturally easier to use than having to search for a physical ID card or fob – which can often be forgotten or misplaced.
Highly secure authentication
Wallet passes leverage the robust security architectures of Apple Wallet and Google Wallet – all pass data exchanged over NFC with VTAP readers is securely encrypted.
Typical RFID card implementations allow IDs to be cloned all too easily with readily available low-cost equipment. In contrast, an organisation’s NFC wallet passes can only be accessed by reader hardware configured with the correct authentication credentials.
Low-cost issuance and admin
Economical, efficient and more environmentally-friendly. Plastic RFID cards incur additional costs throughout their lifecycle – from printing and distribution, to the administration of dealing with missing and damaged cards.
NFC wallet passes can be issued immediately via email, SMS or app, for addition to either Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. Users can block a lost or stolen device via the appropriate ‘Find My Device’ app – restoring their wallet contents when they have recovered or replaced their device.
VTAP readers – designed for easy integration
Legacy & mixed media support
In addition to NFC wallet passes, VTAP readers also support popular RFID technologies – such as MIFARE. This mixed media support makes migrations from plastic to digital cards seamless and straightforward to manage.
Flexible form factor & connectivity options
VTAP readers have an extensive range of connectivity options, including USB and RS-232 serial interfaces. Available as PCB modules for flexible inclusion within equipment and kiosks, VTAP readers include a compact space saving option and the ability to use custom antennas.
No software dev tools required
VTAP readers are designed to be simple to configure and easy to manage. No dedicated drivers or SDK required. VTAP USB readers can swap-out barcode scanners and other legacy readers – transferring keyboard-emulated data. Reader configuration and updates are easy to manage via the standard file system interface.
“VTAP readers are being built into gym equipment, vending machines and other types of device to enable smooth new interactions, world-wide.”
