Identos Releases the Tactivo for iPhone 7/8
Chris Jachetti • May 10, 2018

As of January 1st, 2018, Identos GmbH has acquired and taken over  all production and management operations of the Tactivo Mobile Smart Card Solutions line previously owned and operated by Precise Biometrics.  The first Tactivo model released under the Identos name is the Tactivo Mobile Smart Card Reader for iPhone 7 & 8.  Its sleek design and snug fit makes it the perfect Smart Card Reader Case for anyone looking for a high level of security with the convenience of a mobile smart card reader.

Tactivo readers can be used for a wide range of applications found in many industries such as healthcare, government, military, and enterprise business. The reader uses multi-factor authentication by combining  smartcard verification and a PIN code in order to provide secure access to resources from a mobile device. It allows the user the peace of mind knowing they can access all of their smartcard-required mobile resources, with the convenient use of their mobile device.

The new model being nearly identical to the Tactivo for iPhone 6/6s, will allow for a seamless upgrade to the new iPhone 7/8 version. As of today, there have been tens of thousands Tactivo Smart Card Readers Cases purchased by US Federal Government agencies including military and civilian accessing OWA emails, NKO, AKO, AF portals and sharepoint sites, as well as countless other non-government entities. With the use of these mobile reader cases, Identos is enabling the DoD to accomplish mission critical tasks that increase workforce mobility, without sacrificing security.
