PDK access app
With mobile credentials in the PDK Access app, ProdataKey encourages users to take a step towards the future of access control.
What is a Mobile Credential?
A mobile credential is a digital key that allows users to gain access to a secured space using their personal mobile device. This form of credential is increasing in popularity each day, due to its enhanced convenience and security.
Types of PDK Mobile Credentials
Bluetooth
The PDK Access app allows a mobile device to communicate with an access control reader through Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication. Through this technology, ProdataKey users can gain entry to a space simply by presenting their phone to a reader. This mobile credential option creates a seamless and convenient security experience.​
Remote Unlocking
With the PDK Access app, users can utilize the push-to-open feature. This is an in-application action that allows users to select a door and unlock it with the simple push of a button. With this feature, mobile credential users can open doors from any location, without being in close proximity to the reader. This allows users to have complete control over their space anytime, anywhere, and from any device.
The Benefits of Mobile Access Control
As industries look for smarter, more secure ways to manage access, mobile credentials are quickly becoming the go-to solution. The PDK Access app introduces a variety of benefits that make PDK’s mobile credentials the ideal choice for any access control system.
Convenience
The PDK Access app allows users to replace physical credentials with something that everyone carries all the time–their mobile device. Access can be granted with a simple tap or scan, streamlining the entire unlocking experience.

Scalability
With ProdataKey’s mobile credentials, adding new users doesn’t require extra resources–just configuration within the system. And with free, unlimited push-to-open mobile credentials, PDK ensures that businesses won’t outgrow their security system.
Remote Capabilities

Unlike low-security physical credentials, mobile credentials from ProdataKey offer heightened security that reduces risks and enhances overall protection. Communication from PDK’s mobile credential is encrypted, guaranteeing that your info doesn’t end up in the wrong hands.
