How readerless NFC mobile credentials work with the RightCrowd SmartAccess platform?

User taps their mobile on the passive NFC door tile.

The user’s mobile phone connects securely to the cloud where RightCrowd SmartAccess makes the decision about whether to unlock the door (based on the user’s access rights in the underlying PACS).

A signal is sent to the relevant access panel and door to grant access.

Door access data is logged for each user within RightCrowd.
