Apple Wallet Adds Mobile Access Control Support
Until now, Apple required mobile access control providers to use their own app, only BLE or Wi-Fi, and no digital badging.
Now Apple has announced plans to fix all three of those limitations, with HID and Proxy announcing support already.
IPVM examines Apple's announcement and what this means for mobile access in the future.
