Introduction to the touch io Reader

Touch Mobile Credential Reader

Touch io offers unparalleled convenience and security. By using a mobile device as a credential, touch io allows users to keep their phone in their pocket for hassle-free entry. Simply tap the reader, and touch io will automatically authenticate or deny access*. Unlike other Bluetooth readers, touch io uses inside-out technology to prevent accidental openings. Using advanced hardware, the reader detects which side of the door a user is standing, distinguishing between credentials inside or outside a room before granting access.
