ELATEC announces the release of the TWN4 DevPack 5.07

ELATEC has released its latest software development toolkit, TWN4 DevPack 5.07.

According to the company the new version delivers faster performance, stronger security and greater flexibility for configuring and managing RFID readers, enabling flexible and future-proof access solutions.

The TWN4 DevPack 5.07 release represents ELATEC’s continued investment in flexibility, interoperability and developer empowerment, making it easier to design and maintain secure, scalable RFID and mobile access solutions across industries, ELATEC adds.

“Secure, flexible and future-ready”

Tobias Rasche, Global Head of Product Management of ELATEC GmbH commented: “With every DevPack release, our goal is to make life easier for developers, system integrators and end users.

“Version 5.07 takes another big step forward by combining deeper diagnostics, broader mobile credential support and open-standard interoperability, all in one powerful package.

“With this evolution, our DevPack is now more than a development toolkit, it’s a comprehensive framework for building secure, flexible and future-ready authentication solutions.”

Mobile and security capabilities

DevPack 5.07 expands ELATEC’s support for modern mobile ecosystems, giving developers more ways to deliver seamless, secure and flexible authentication experiences.

Built-in integration for Orange PackID, Transact and AccessGrid eliminates extra setup steps, simplifying deployment of mobile ID solutions for campuses, workplaces and customer loyalty programs.

New Bluetooth capabilities enable developers to create fully customised mobile ID experiences and integrate ELATEC readers into existing apps and ecosystems.

The release also introduces support for PKOC (Public Key Open Credential), an open, vendor-neutral standard that aligns with ELATEC’s agnostic reader philosophy.

ELATEC says that PKOC gives customers maximum freedom of choice and stronger protection through asymmetric cryptography, creating a more resilient foundation for future-ready access systems.

Additional enhancements

The company notes that the additional enhancements include:

• A new API for MIFARE DESFire EV2/EV3 cards, giving developers greater flexibility in advanced security and feature integration
• The PIN-after-card option enables two-factor authentication (2FA) with an authentication process in physical access (PAC) environments
• It is designed for use with wall readers featuring keypads, such as the Secustos

Together, these updates simplify mobile credential deployment while raising the bar for security and interoperability across diverse applications, the company adds.

Development and configuration

DevPack 5.07 gives developers and integrators faster insight into reader performance, greater control over configuration and dramatically shorter update cycles.

ELATEC says that as a result of this, there will be quicker rollouts, easier troubleshooting and lower maintenance costs across even the most complex deployments.

Advancements

According to the company, the key advancements include:

• Enhanced Tracer diagnostics: Deeper transponder analysis and broader technology support including HID DESFire EV3 and SEOS enabling faster, more accurate troubleshooting and performance validation
• Compact OSDP configuration updates: The new configuration update cuts time for updates over OSDP by a factor of ten or greater, minimises bandwidth requirements and reduces downtime
• Wiegand configuration via AppBlaster: Expanded options for Secustos and TWN4 Palon readers simplify migration from legacy Wiegand to secure OSDP systems

ELATEC says that these improvements make DevPack 5.07 a more powerful, efficient toolkit for building and managing RFID systems from setup through long-term maintenance.

“Protect what matters and prepare for what’s next”

Gerhard Burits, CEO of ELATEC GmbH expressed: “The new DevPack gives our partners the freedom to innovate within a secure, open and future-ready framework.

“It’s a perfect example of our philosophy: simplify what’s complex, protect what matters and prepare for what’s next.”
