MOBILE ACCESS POINTS

Tip

Video: Mobile Access Point Introduction

A mobile access point is where the access point is simply the card reader with no screen or box. It can be transported from location to location frequently and more conveniently than the honesty policy box as it is approximately the size of a small wallet. It does not require to be consistently plugged into a wall socket (only requires to be recharged). Typically managers or site supervisors will carry the Bluetooth NFC card readers with them and sign in their workers at a mobile site and sign workers out when they are complete for the day.

There are three steps required to configure the Lucidity OnSite App which is used in conjunction with the Bluetooth NFC card reader provided by Lucidity.
