RF IDeas, Inc., a leading innovator and manufacturer of in-building
identification and access control readers, today announced its
pcProx® Plus BLE is now compatible with the Orange Business
Services Pack ID mobile credentials, expanding the company's reader
offering to include mobile applications.
The pcProx Plus BLE reader combines the innovative RF IDeas
dual-frequency card reader platform with
Bluetooth® low energy technology. The reader
has widespread use in healthcare and other industries for
applications such as e-prescribe and beaconing for indoor location
and asset tracking. In addition to being compatible with Pack ID,

solution for logical access.
According to Gartner, 20 percent of organizations will be using
their smartphones instead of physical access cards by 2020. “As
mobile credentials increasingly are used for logical access and
authentication, it is a natural evolution for the RF IDeas reader
portfolio to expand into mobile credential readers,” said David
Cottingham, President of RF IDeas. “With a leading global
presence and solid record of technology innovation backing both RF
IDeas and Orange, the Pack ID mobile credential reader takes secure
authentication for logical access to a new level for our
customers.”

proven, secure and easy to use solution,” said Philippe Rozes,
Deputy CEO of Orange Applications for Business. “Pack ID offers an
easy and smart way to transition card based credential management
systems to a true digital and mobile experience.”
The Pack ID mobile credential provides secure, yet simple,
access to digital services. By virtualizing traditional cards and
badges, the Orange Pack ID mobile credential solution easily
integrates into existing card systems used for logical access and
authentication while enabling multiple applications such as
