Face ID 2 and Face ID X WIFI Customization
Introduction
WiFi connectivity is widely used today to connect users with the latest technology and updates. It provides greater mobility, allowing users to connect to a network or the Internet while moving freely within the space. For organizations choosing the best mobile connectivity options, WiFi is often the preferred choice.
At FingerTec, we offer a variety of WiFi-enabled devices to meet customer needs. Among the devices supported by WiFi are the Face ID 2 and Face ID X.
Customers have the option to purchase the Face ID 2 and Face ID X with or without the WiFi function. For those who have already purchased these devices without WiFi support, here are the steps you can follow to carry out the WiFi modification, if necessary.
WiFi modification for Face ID 2 and Face ID X requires a WiFi Module and a WiFi Antenna. If you need to perform this customization, you may send us an inquiry at www.fingertec.com or contact your reseller for further assistance.
