WAVE ID readers support Gallagher Employee Badge in Apple Wallet

With this support, organisations can use a Gallagher Employee Badge in Apple Wallet credential across both physical and logical access. The same credential can unlock a Gallagher access-controlled door and verify identity at rf IDEAS WAVE ID readers for applications such as single sign-on, secure print and visitor management.

Designed for broad compatibility, WAVE ID readers securely read and authenticate credential data from Apple Wallet directly to downstream applications, in turn enabling seamless integration across systems without requiring changes to existing infrastructure.

Built on NXP MIFARE DESFire technology, Gallagher credentials leverage secure and shareable keys that can be provisioned once and extended to trusted third party devices such as rf IDEAS readers. This allows organisations to deploy a single mobile credential across multiple systems and reader environments without reissuance.

Multiple credential types

“Organisations are looking for flexible and secure ways in which to support multiple credential types across their environments,” explained rf IDEAS’ president David Cottingham. “With support for Gallagher Employee Badge in Apple Wallet, WAVE ID readers continue to give customers the freedom to deploy mobile credentials to support a more secure and digital-first future.”

Gallagher Security’s product manager Tyson Barnett responded: “Identity is managed centrally, but verified at the edge. That requires interoperable credentials that can be read everywhere. Our partnership with rf IDEAS reflects our vision for that future.”

This enhancement reinforces rf IDEAS’ commitment to delivering highly configurable and future-ready readers that adapt to evolving credential technologies, affording today’s organisations greater flexibility as they modernise authentication.
