Access Control: NFC or BLE?

A shift in the use of identity technology has led to increased adoption of mobile devices and the latest smart card technology, a greater emphasis and reliance on the cloud, and a radical new way of thinking about trust in smart environments and the IoT. That shift is also precipitating the move to NFC and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) wireless technologies. Dealers and integrators will need to be intimately familiar with these technologies to be able to specify the right one for the job across a growing variety of access control applications in an increasingly connected world.
