B-PASS

Bettear B-PASS - Auracast stream access panel

Bettear B-PASS is a smart access panel for Auracast™ streams. Listeners connect whichever way suits them - tapping their device on the NFC reader (Tap-to-Access), scanning a QR code (Scan-to-Access) or entering an access code - even where several streams are in range. The panel has an 8-inch touch screen showing stream information and the QR code, as well as the venue's own branding, logo and messages.

B-PASS also controls who gets in: in sensitive environments only authorised listeners can join the encrypted stream. The panel sits on the Bettear CASTER network and manages the broadcast passkey automatically. A new passkey can be generated with the Bettear B-PASS Admin Tag - all current listeners are then disconnected, and only authorised users can rejoin. It is ideal for universities, courtrooms, boardrooms, museums, hotels and meeting venues.
