ELATEC has released its latest software development toolkit, TWN4 DevPack 5.07. The new version delivers faster performance, stronger security and greater flexibility for configuring and managing RFID readers, enabling flexible and future-proof access solutions.

"With every DevPack release, our goal is to make life easier for developers, system integrators and end users," said Tobias Rasche, global head of product management, ELATEC GmbH. "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 tool kit — it's a comprehensive framework for building secure, flexible and future-ready authentication solutions."

Future-Proof Mobile & 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 customized mobile ID experiences and integrate ELATEC readers effortlessly into existing apps and ecosystems.

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

Smarter Tools for Development & Configuration

DevPack 5.07 gives developers and integrators faster insight into reader performance, greater control over configuration and dramatically shorter update cycles. The result: quicker roll outs, easier troubleshooting and lower maintenance costs across even the most complex deployments.

Key advancements include:

• Enhanced Tracer diagnostics: Deeper transponder analysis and broader technology support — including HID DESFire EV3 and SEOS — enable 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 10 or greater, minimizes 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.

These improvements make DevPack 5.07 a more powerful, efficient tool kit for building and managing RFID systems from setup through long-term maintenance.

"The new DevPack gives our partners the freedom to innovate within a secure, open and future-ready framework," said Gerhard Burits, CEO, ELATEC GmbH. "It's a perfect example of our philosophy: simplify what's complex, protect what matters and prepare for what's next."

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