Bluetooth or Near Field Communication (NFC) technology to access secured

credentials. They follow standard credential formats such as Standard 26 bits and
HID H10304 37 Bits.NOTE: If HID Global is your mobile credential provider, you must
purchase a service (identified by an part number) for each credential format you want
to support, and specify how many credentials you intend to create, and what facility code
you intend to use. For each service you purchase, you must configure a mobile credential
profile in Security
