APEX Ascent Mullion Keypad Access Reader - 13.56MHz, BLE, OSDP, Wallet
Product Description
The Wavelynx AX-15 APEX Ascent Mullion Keypad Access Reader is a versatile, next-generation RFID reader that delivers both card/mobile credential support and PIN code entry for enhanced security.
Designed for organizations that require multi-factor authentication, the AX-15 seamlessly integrates 13.56MHz NFC smartcards, Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) 5.3 mobile credentials, wallet access, and keypad PINs into a compact mullion form factor.
Built for high-security applications, the Wavelynx APEX AX-15 Access reader combines durability, modern design, and advanced functionality. Its IP65+ rated enclosure protects against harsh environmental conditions, while the metal cast mounting plate provides rugged installation stability. With its narrow mullion design, it fits seamlessly into tight spaces like door frames, making it ideal for commercial, government, healthcare, and enterprise deployments.
Security is at the core of the AX-15. Featuring an EAL6+ Secure Element, accelerometer-based tamper detection, and compliance with OSDP v2.2, the reader provides strong encryption and resilience against tampering or unauthorized access attempts. The OSDP Autodetect feature allows effortless migration from Wiegand to OSDP over existing wiring—reducing upgrade costs and simplifying transitions.
For even greater flexibility, the AX-15 supports remote firmware updates, ensuring the reader stays up to date with the latest security and feature enhancements without requiring on-site intervention. Its multicolor LED light bar provides clear credential and PIN validation feedback, improving the user experience.
In addition to its hardware advancements, the AX-15 supports a wide range of credentials and is fully interoperable with Wavelynx Ethos readers. This enables organizations to maintain legacy card systems while adopting mobile-first access strategies, future-proofing their security infrastructure.
With its combination of keypad entry, mobile and card compatibility, and robust build, the AX-15 is the perfect solution for facilities requiring both security and flexibility in their access control system.
