Product Overview
The Akuvox A03 is an all-in-one IP access control terminal that combines a door controller and a multi-credential card reader in a single weatherproof unit. It reads dual-frequency RFID cards (13.56MHz and 125kHz), NFC on a smartphone, and Bluetooth "wave-to-unlock" from the Akuvox app — so residents or staff can get in with a card, a tap, or just their phone in their pocket.
Behind a toughened glass front panel and aluminium alloy frame, the A03 stores up to 20,000 credentials and 100,000 event log entries, runs over a single PoE Ethernet cable, and is rated IP65 for reliable outdoor use at a gate, door or building entry. Supplied directly through Total Security Equipment.
Key Capabilities
Three Ways to Unlock
RFID card, NFC tap, or Bluetooth wave-to-unlock from the Akuvox app — all on one terminal.
Large Credential Capacity
Stores up to 20,000 cards/credentials and 100,000 event log entries.
Built for Outdoor Use
IP65-rated, toughened glass front and aluminium alloy frame for exposed entry points.
Single-Cable PoE Install
Powered and networked over one Ethernet cable via 802.3af PoE, with a Wiegand/relay interface for door hardware.
Best For
Flush or surface mount at a main door, lobby or gate with a single access terminal.
Let staff or residents unlock with a phone via Bluetooth or NFC instead of only physical cards.
IP65 weatherproofing suits an external door, gate or car park entry.
Why Choose This Reader
The A03 covers three credential types in one device rather than forcing you to choose between a card reader and a mobile-access system — useful when a site has a mix of staff cards, visitor NFC access and residents who'd rather use their phone. Its 20,000-credential capacity and 100,000-event log put it well ahead of basic single-door readers, and a single PoE cable for both power and data keeps installation straightforward. Available from Total Security Equipment.
