Abstract
An access control terminal includes guidance members to establish an access lane having a signal- or blocking element and a multi-beam phased antenna array. An electronic gate controller is connected to the multi-beam phased antenna array to communicate via Bluetooth protocol with mobile Bluetooth communication devices. A proximity sensor is arranged within the access lane to detect a patron approaching an entry area of the access lane, and the gate controller is configured to enable data input supplied by the Bluetooth protocol via the multi beam phased antenna array after the proximity sensor indicates the presence of a patron to request transmission of the access credentials from the smartphone. The gate controller is configured to command the signal- or blocking element to move to the open state if the access credentials are validated and the field strength indicator (RSSI) values are within predefined limits.
