UHF and Bluetooth multi-technology reader

Issue 5 2022 Products & Solutions, Access Control & Identity Management

The SPECTRE nano from STid is a compact UHF and Bluetooth reader that helps secure and eliminate vehicle access lines. It facilitates access control for vehicles and drivers with different profiles (visitors, employees, tenants, etc.) thanks to multiple identification technologies.

Passive UHF technology: The reader provides UHF identification up to 6 m. The passive credentials (without battery) require no maintenance and have an unlimited lifespan.

Bluetooth smartphones: The reader offers many identification modes – long-distance, hands-free or proximity – to make access control both secure and instinctive.

Fully integrated into the STid Mobile ID ecosystem, SPECTRE nano allows users to use their virtual card for both parking and pedestrian access.

Mixed identification: SPECTRE nano reads heterogeneous identifiers, including a virtual card for smooth management of visitor and employee access, a UHF windshield tag for tracking vehicle fleets, and offers simultaneous vehicle and driver identification.

Security from end to end

The reader includes high levels of security, guaranteeing the authenticity and confidentiality of data using encryption methods recognised and recommended by independent organisations (ANSSI, FIPS, etc.).

• Encrypted/signed credentials to ensure anti-cloning and anti-replay protection.

• EAL5+ certified key storage.

• Self-protection function to erase security keys.

• Secure end-to-end bidirectional communication using SSCP and Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) protocols.
