Control entry with a reader built for mixed credential environments. Reader Flex combines third-generation NFC access with RFID, PIN code entry, and Apple Touch Pass support, giving security teams more ways to authenticate users without adding complexity at the door. That flexibility matters in offices, shared spaces, and managed properties where different user groups rely on different credentials. The integrated keypad adds a practical fallback for users who do not carry a badge or mobile credential, while NFC support keeps daily access fast and familiar. For organizations moving toward mobile-first access control, Apple Touch Pass support helps reduce dependence on physical cards without forcing a full migration on day one. At 0.9 lbs, Reader Flex is compact enough for clean installations while still delivering the credential options needed in higher-value deployments. It is a strong fit when you want a reader that can support current access policies and adapt as credential strategies evolve. For teams comparing entry-level readers, this model stands out by combining mobile credential support, keypad entry, and Ubiquiti’s access ecosystem in one device.
