BROOMFIELD, Colo., Sept. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wavelynx, a leader in secure and adaptable access control, today announced the launch of its APEX Reader, a new RFID solution designed to modernize how organizations manage physical access. Built to deliver what the company calls "The APEX Effect"—a philosophy focused on providing enterprises with transformative access control solutions that evolve with their needs, adapt to their environment, and protect what matters most to them. This flagship product represents a paradigm shift from systems that create operational burdens to solutions that become strategic advantages.

For decades, access control has operated under a broken model: organizations install solutions, then spend years managing their limitations, incompatibility, and inevitable failures. Wavelynx has engineered a different approach: a new reader that provides a reliable and secure access control experience with future-ready credential support.

"Access control has evolved beyond simple keycards or doors," said Rob Lydic, President of Wavelynx. "The APEX Reader helps businesses plan for the future by creating flexible, secure systems that grow with them, turning what was once a constant headache into a strategic advantage."

Built on Three Core Principles That Deliver The APEX Effect

The APEX Reader delivers APEX Effect through three key benefits:

• Infrastructure That Outlasts Decades of Change: Hardware and firmware engineered for decades of change, eliminating premature upgrades and costly replacement cycles.
• Solutions That Adapt and Never Require Compromise: A solution that provides security without sacrificing convenience and innovation.
• Technology That Evolves Ahead of Tomorrow's Challenges: A system designed to adapt to changing security and business needs intelligently, ensuring organizations stay ahead of emerging risks, standards, and organizational change.
  

APEX Reader: Engineering Excellence in Practice

The APEX Reader redefines what's possible in access control through a carefully engineered design that provides an enduring, practical, and secure access control experience. Key features include:

• Flexible Form Factors: Available in four options—Mullion, Mullion Keypad, Single Gang, and Single Gang Keypad—the device easily adapts to various installation needs, streamlining deployment and reducing installation time.
• Credential Freedom: Supports current and future credential protocols, including asymmetric cryptography, delivering lasting protection for their investments while maintaining seamless compatibility with the LEAF Community.
• Military-Grade Security: All data transmissions are secured with military-grade (EAL 6+) encryption, protecting against unauthorized access and tampering.
• Exceptional Durability: Engineered for harsh environments, the device features a rugged metal mounting plate, a watertight dust-proof enclosure, and operates across a wide voltage range (5–24V).
• Simple, but Brilliant Installation: Installs quickly with flexible wiring options, a durable wall plate for any surface, and an angled security screw for added ease when installing.
  

The APEX Reader provides quick, dependable access that's easy to use without compromising security, creating a seamless experience for users while protecting critical resources. Wavelynx’s flagship reader is designed to outlast, adapt, and evolve – exemplifying The APEX Effect in action.

"The APEX Reader builds on the success of Wavelynx's APEX Module and represents the pinnacle—the point at which access control investment reaches peak performance," said Melissa Stenger, Chief Strategy Officer at Wavelynx. "This helps organizations eliminate the costly cycle of constant replacement and reinvestment, allowing them to master their access control systems."
