Schaumburg, IL – rf IDEAS, a global manufacturer of RFID credential readers, today announced that its WAVE ID® readers support Gallagher Employee Badge in Apple Wallet, expanding the range of credential technologies supported across its flexible, interoperable reader platform.
With this support, organizations 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, enabling seamless integration across systems without requiring changes to existing infrastructure.
Built on NXP® MIFARE DESFire® technology, Gallagher credentials leverage secure, shareable keys that can be provisioned once and extended to trusted third-party devices like rf IDEAS readers. This allows organizations to deploy a single mobile credential across multiple systems and reader environments without reissuance.
“Organizations are looking for flexible, secure ways to support multiple credential types across their environments,” said 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 Product Manager, Tyson Barnett says, “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, future-ready readers that adapt to evolving credential technologies, giving organizations greater flexibility as they modernize authentication.
WAVE ID® readers supporting Gallagher Employee Badge in Apple Wallet are available now.
