WaveLynx Adds Apple Wallet Support
Apple Wallet opened to mobile access in 2021 but with mandatory use of HID mobile credentials. Now, Wavelynx has released support for Apple Wallet by using an NXP offering: MIFARE 2 GO.
In this report, IPVM examines the following:
- Advantages of MIFARE 2 GO vs. HID Mobile
- Weaknesses of MIFARE 2 GO vs. HID Mobile
- Why WaveLynx Is Using Wallet vs. BLE
- Integration To & Adoption of Apple Wallet Slow
- HID Responds
This report is part of IPVM's Mobile Access coverage, including NFC Is Better Than BLE For Mobile Access, Mobile Access Control Guide, and Ultra-Wideband (UWB), And The Future of Mobile Electronic Access Control with a 2023 Mobile Access Control Shootout coming later this Spring.
