The PAC Architect A Blue is a dual-technology access control reader that handles both physical cards and smartphone credentials — the kind of reader that makes sense when you're planning a site where staff use a mix of both. With an 80 mm read range for PAC HF ID devices and up to 20 m for Mobile IDs via Bluetooth, it covers the practical realities of modern access control without requiring separate hardware for each credential type.

Built for exposed or high-risk locations, the Architect A Blue is designed to be vandal-proof and incorporates an accelerometer-based tamper detection system — so any attempt to interfere with the reader is logged, not ignored. It's compatible with PAC Ops, PAC Ops Lite, and Mobile IDs, fitting neatly into existing PAC-based infrastructure.

If you're specifying access control for a building where security integrity and credential flexibility both matter, this reader covers that ground without compromise.
