Questions
Common questions
What is the Suprema Airfob Patch best suited to?
Adding phone-based access to readers you already own, without replacing them or running new cables. Where it is the wrong choice: it only works with readers that accept 13.56 MHz MIFARE CSN (NFC smart cards need extra configuration). It extends a reader rather than replacing one.
How does the Suprema Airfob Patch connect?
It does not connect to your network. It talks to the phone over Bluetooth (BLE 4.0) and passes the credential to the card reader it is stuck to, by emulating a 13.56 MHz MIFARE CSN card.
Can the Suprema Airfob Patch be used for time attendance?
Not on its own — it is an access control device. It works through Suprema's mobile access card platform and the existing reader's access control system. If you need attendance as well, we pair it with an attendance terminal at the main entrance.
Do you install and support the Suprema Airfob Patch across the UAE?
Yes. We supply, install, configure, train your team and support it across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain. Call +971 56 614 2543 or message us on WhatsApp for a fixed written quote.
