Schlage MTMS15 aptiQ™ Multi-Technology Magnetic Stripe Reader
The Schlage MTMS15 aptiQ™ Multi-Technology Reader is a powerful and flexible access control solution engineered to support multiple credential technologies within a single reader platform. Designed for organizations transitioning from legacy credential systems to modern smart credential environments, the MTMS15 provides seamless compatibility with magnetic stripe credentials, traditional proximity cards, aptiQsmart™ credentials, MIFARE® Classic, MIFARE® DESFire™ EV1, and NFC-enabled aptiQmobile™ credentials.
Manufactured by Schlage and built within the trusted aptiQ™ access control platform, the MTMS15 allows facilities to maintain existing credential infrastructures while gradually implementing newer, more secure technologies. This eliminates the need for costly immediate credential replacement programs while providing a scalable path toward advanced smart card and mobile credential deployments.
With support for Wiegand and RS-485 output formats, tri-state LED indicators, audio feedback, durable construction, and a professional wall-mount design, the MTMS15 is ideal for commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, educational campuses, industrial sites, government facilities, enterprise environments, and multi-site organizations seeking a future-ready access control reader capable of supporting mixed credential environments.
Why Choose the Schlage MTMS15?
The MTMS15 is specifically designed for organizations operating mixed credential environments where magnetic stripe, proximity, smart card, and mobile credentials may all coexist during technology migration phases. Instead of replacing entire systems at once, organizations can continue using existing credentials while gradually upgrading users to more secure smart card or mobile credential platforms.
This multi-technology flexibility makes the MTMS15 an excellent long-term investment for facilities seeking to future-proof their access control infrastructure while minimizing operational disruption and credential replacement costs.
