Wavelynx Introduces New APEX Reader Module For Access Control Systems And Smart Devices

Multi-frequency RFID module enables manufacturers to develop the next generation of access-enabled devices

BROOMFIELD, CO — May 28, 2025 — Wavelynx, a leader in secure and interoperable access control solutions, today announced the launch of the APEX Module - a solution designed to transform how manufacturers integrate access control technology into their products. 

Pre-FCC certified and mobile wallet-ready, the APEX Module empowers OEMs and device manufacturers to deliver smarter, more secure solutions without lengthy R&D cycles. 

The APEX Module brings Wavelynx’s leading reader technology closer to device makers in a secure, easy-to-integrate form factor. It enables OEMs and hardware manufacturers to embed powerful RFID technology into a wide range of systems - including intercoms, elevators, turnstiles, smart locks, alarm panels, and biometric readers—reducing R&D costs, speeding development, and accelerating time to market for new product offerings.

"The APEX Module isn't just a technology add-on—it's a growth catalyst that empowers our partners to enhance product capabilities, fast-track go-to-market efforts, and tap into new, high-value market opportunities," said Robert Lydic, President.  “As building security moves toward integrated, mobile-first experiences, the APEX Module serves as the foundation for the next generation of smart access. Wavelynx’s commitment to interoperability ensures shared innovation and growth across our entire partner ecosystem.”

One Module. Modern Credential Tech. Unlimited Possibilities.

Designed for flexibility, the APEX Module is compatible with legacy proximity cards, smart cards, and mobile credentials (NFC and Bluetooth).  The module helps OEMs transition from legacy prox technology to a secure, future-ready solution. The Module also features advanced encryption for secure communication and credential verification, all in a compact design.

The APEX Module delivers significant advantages for manufacturers looking to accelerate growth by expanding into new segments or enhancing existing product lines:

• Accelerated R&D and Market Entry: The APEX Module eliminates the need to design separate devices for different frequency standards. By reducing development time and engineering effort, OEMs can focus on core strengths, expand their RFID offerings, and enter new markets faster.
• Ecosystem Expansion—Fast: Gain instant compatibility with mobile wallets (including Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, and Samsung Wallet), secure card formats, and legacy Prox credentials. Seamless integration and over-the-air updates ensure products evolve with industry standards.
• Access to the LEAF Community: Implementing the Module, a LEAF Community device, enables one LEAF Universal credential to work across other LEAF Community devices, opening access to a growing ecosystem of partners and unlocking new revenue opportunities with LEAF-compatible solutions.

"The APEX Module delivers our trusted RFID technology directly to OEMs and device manufacturers,” said Melissa Stenger, Chief Strategy Officer at Wavelynx. “It’s purpose-built for customers seeking a competitive edge through seamless integration of standards-based, mobile-ready access control—without the burden of traditional R&D investment."
