The new generation of the 2N Access Unit M is based on unique patented Bluetooth-based mobile access technology that is twice as fast and more secure than RFID options says its creator. Mobile access is now the benchmark for office entry systems as employees are demanding faster, simpler and more secure access to their offices. Research already indicates that, for more than four in ten office workers, the preferred method for storing access credentials is their smartphone. The new smart access control unit is has been created to be the ideal reader for offices and sets a new benchmark in speed, reliability and security for mobile access control.
The new 2N Access Unit M provides multi-technology access control which makes it much easier for property developers, distributors and installers to provide multifactor authentication options for buildings. Choices now include RFID, RFID combined with mobile access via Bluetooth, or RFID with a keypad, which is perfect for projects that require two-factor authentication.
This breakthrough technology means faster access with more robust building security. In addition, the device’s built-in controller ensures that property owners and companies have a smooth transition to next-generation Bluetoothbased mobile access technology which is the foundation for adopting much quicker, easier, safer and more flexible access solutions in the future.
THE FASTEST AND MOST SECURE MOBILE ACCESS.
With the new Bluetooth technology, users need only 0.3 seconds to authenticate. What’s more, the maker says this is the most secure method of access on the market. Users only need the 2N Mobile Key application, which turns their smartphone into an access card. They can then enter the door by pressing a button in the application or by simply touching the reader. The reading distance between the mobile and the access unit can be adjusted, as well as the opening mode. The unit also guarantees security. Encrypted communication, support for the 802.1x protocol and protection against cyberattacks are standard features.
TIMELESS DESIGN AND QUICK INSTALLATION
2N Access Unit M’s compact, slimline design fits aesthetically with different door frames and its attractive glass front panel, which has a five-year scratch-free guarantee, completes an elegant design solution for different office building and lift access control needs. The new unit is fitted to door frames in minutes, requires minimal office cabling and can be configured and administered remotely, so access system installation and office fit-out times are accelerated. Manufactured in the Czech Republic from hard-wearing materials, and with a protection rating of IP55 and IK7, the 2N Access Unit M is well suited to outdoor and harsh environment applications.
EASY TO CONFIGURE AND MANAGE
The 2N OS makes the 2N Access Unit M exceptionally smart. The new access control unit can easily be set up directly through the web interface or remotely using the 2N Remote Configuration cloud service. This means that administrators and facility managers don’t


need to go through a complicated set up with routers and firewalls. This solution saves space and, equally importantly, time and money. For larger installations, the access control unit can be configured and managed by 2N Access Commander. This is professional administration software with a well-arranged graphical interface and intuitive control. Through the user interface, access permissions and specific functions are set in bulk, such as who has access to specific doors or zones. It also provides the option to add a time and attendance system which records the attendance of employees and can be viewed via the web interface.
THE FOUR NEW READER OPTIONS
2N Access Unit M RFID 13.56 MHz – able to read most cards at 13.56 MHz frequency, this version of the 2N Access Unit M RFID reader suits companies that prefer traditional RFID technology. Employees who don’t want to use a card simply use their mobile phone to gain access.
2N Access Unit M RFID Multifrequency – the Multifrequency RFID card reader scans cards at frequencies of 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz – handy where multiple companies are in one building and sharing certain areas.
2N Access Unit M Bluetooth & RFID – using Bluetooth technology, the 2N Access Unit M Bluetooth & RFID reader is billed as the fastest and most secure access option for modern offices – combining access by card or mobile. Employees open doors with their mobile phone using the 2N Mobile Key app – either by tapping a button in the app or the reader itself with their phone left in their pocket. Non-Bluetooth fans can always open the door using an RFID card. 2N Access Unit M Touch Keypad & RFID – the 2N Access Unit M Touch Keypad & RFID is ideal for buildings demanding two-factor authentication – with access through a PIN code and RFID card. During working hours, employees can swipe their RFID cards; PIN code entry is needed out of hours. The unit reads cards with frequencies of 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz and allows one-off access codes to be generated for visitors.
