Matrix Ultra Prox reader
Matrix Ultra Prox: the door badge reader without compromise on security
Designed in a wide format (Ultra), this door badge reader stands out with its robust casing featuring a 25-LED visual matrix without a keypad, ideal for streamlining identification via badge, card, or smartphone. It offers an optimal level of security while ensuring simplified integration with existing access control management systems on the market. Intended for new construction or renovation projects—for offices, industrial buildings, public infrastructure, or residential spaces—the Matrix Ultra Prox reader meets all security and access control needs. This door badge reader is aimed at both integrators and end customers looking for reliable access control.
This LiNEGUARD badge reader allows you to define access protection levels using two architectures: direct storage of security keys within the reader's EAL6+ component, or transparent mode management with keys stored in the control unit (CU). This advanced configuration is easily performed from the online tool LiNEGUARD Studio to guarantee security perfectly adapted to each site. Operating on 13.56 MHz RFID and compatible with NFC, this device establishes itself as a high-performance, modern, and versatile badge reader.

Matrix Ultra Prox Reader, a communicating reader
LiNEGUARD readers are fully customizable using the LiNEGUARD Studio tool to reinvent communication between the badge reader and the user…
Dynamic and intuitive light communication
Matrix version LiNEGUARD readers (25-LED matrix) offer a unique light signature on the access control market. Thanks to the LiNEGUARD library or the option to design custom visual animations using the LiNEGUARD Studio tool, you can create interactive communication with the door badge reader as soon as credentials are presented.
Customize colors, LED positions, tones, signal durations, and transitions to generate an impactful light message for every read.
Custom audio to set the tone
As with LEDs, the sound signature of LiNEGUARD players can be customized with LiNEGUARD Studio.
Just like the visual aspect, the audio signature of this reader can be finely configured in LiNEGUARD Studio. Fully customizable or based on preset melodies, you can choose distinctive, intuitive audio messages to announce passage status (access denied, security alarm, door left open).
Custom branding
To ensure seamless integration within any architectural environment, the readers feature a high-resistance casing (IK10 impact resistance rating) and can receive a fully customizable logo upon request when ordering. This bespoke finish enhances your brand image directly at every access point.
Matrix Ultra Prox technical specifications
LiNEGUARD badge reader integrates into all markets—new builds and retrofits alike—thanks to native support for standard protocols: OSDP, Wiegand, and SSCP SPAC (certification in progress). It securely transmits data to the access control unit, which directly drives any type of locking mechanism (wired locks, electric or motorized strikes) for unified control at every access point.
To reduce the system's overall energy consumption, the LiNEGUARD reader features a smart standby mode managed by a presence sensor. During periods of inactivity, you can choose to turn off specific features of your choice (RFID antenna, LEDs, buzzer...) to configure custom power savings. As soon as a person approaches, the reader reactivates instantly, combining energy efficiency with optimal responsiveness.
For a tailored experience, the logo can be customized to create a unique badge reader aligned perfectly with a company's brand identity.
Meeting strict IK10 & IP65 standards, it offers high resistance to physical impacts as well as solid body and liquid ingress. Suitable for demanding outdoor environments when paired with a surveillance system.
With its unique light signature made up of 25 LEDs, this communicative and innovative reader transforms the user experience. All lighting settings can be managed and fully customized from the LiNEGUARD Studio interface.

Frequently Asked Questions
What specific uses does BLE technology serve on this unit?
Integrating an RFID reader equipped with extended Bluetooth (BLE) connectivity allows long-range identification far superior to standard 13.56 MHz proximity technologies. This door badge reader model is ideal for hands-free access management, securing large reception halls, delivery sites, or high-throughput transit zones in corporate settings. The receiver chip picks up secure signals transmitted by the mobile app, offering highly responsive access control without direct contact or line-of-sight constraints. This ensures maximum convenience for users while maintaining an unbreachable security barrier at building entrances.
What is the purpose of the 25-LED matrix on a badge reader?
The 25-LED matrix provides optimal visibility through large, interactive light animations. They clearly indicate to users whether their badge was instantly validated or if passage is granted, delivering intuitive visual feedback ideal for smoothing traffic flow in high-density environments.
Does this hardware also support traditional proximity cards and badges?
Thanks to its hardware versatility, this door badge reader can recognize smartphones while remaining fully capable of validating traditional cards, badges, or tags via direct contact when needed. The internal chip natively supports MIFARE® proximity technology for reliable reading of every card. This dual capability makes it perfectly suited for mixed-use sites where mobile detection users and day visitors with physical cards coexist under the same security setup. Each card or badge is linked to a profile within the LiNEGUARD Studio management module.
Is the Matrix Ultra Prox reader compatible with smartphone access?
Yes, absolutely. The reader integrates cutting-edge contactless connectivity (Bluetooth® and NFC), turning any iOS or Android smartphone into a secure credential.
By pairing the reader with the LiNEGUARD Access mobile app (or using virtual wallets like Apple Wallet and Google Wallet), users benefit from a completely digital access solution. Authentication is smooth and intuitive as you approach the door, without requiring physical badges or keypad entry.
Beyond daily convenience, this access method eliminates physical card logistics: no more inventory management, hand-to-hand distribution, or replacement costs for lost or forgotten badges.
