  • About

    The BlueDiamond™ platform offers a complete, next-generation access control experience. With multi-technology readers, a feature-rich mobile app and the ability to support mobile and physical credentials, organizations can upgrade to the BlueDiamond experience at their own pace.

    BlueDiamond multi-technology readers are among the most versatile access control readers on the market, work seamlessly with existing infrastructures and leverage open credentialing standards. The readers are non-proprietary, access control platform agnostic and support the standard output protocols including Supervised F/2F (SF/2F), Wiegand, OSDP™ and OSDP V2. When utilizing LenelS2 OnGuard® and NetBox™ access control systems, users can conveniently manage mobile credentials through a single system.

    Simultaneous support for a wide range of smart cards – including HID® iCLASS®, MIFARE® and DESFire® EV1 and EV2 – in addition to support for standard proximity cards means BlueDiamond multi-technology readers provide a seamless migration path from less secure card technologies to a more secure, open standard with DESFire EV2 and BlueDiamond mobile credentials.

    With both mobile-ready and mobile-enabled versions available, organizations can achieve enhanced security at their own pace. For organizations that are not ready for mobile credentialing but want to have the flexibility to add it in the future, the BlueDiamond mobile-ready readers provide flexibility without the need to replace or add hardware. The BlueDiamond mobile-enabled readers are ready out of the box to support mobile credentials.

    Subscription-based Services

    • Contact Notification Service: Enables daily self-assessments for employees to report any symptoms, risks or positive COVID test cases. This information allows the system to monitor employee interactions, so that possible exposures can be reported to direct contacts in the event of a potential exposure. This service can also monitor the proximity of employees while within the building and can provide real-time notifications to help maintain proper social distancing. All information collected is anonymized. 
    • Indoor Location Service: Provides convenient facility-wide navigation for employees and visitors. Through the BlueDiamond mobile app, users can access a map of the facility which leverages blue dot positioning to help users quickly identify their location within the facility, search for points of interest and obtain turn-by-turn directions to their destination. Integration with BlueDiamond readers allows users to unlock doors directly from the building map with BlueDiamond mobile credentials.
