This technology offers a method of entry and security management utilizing smartphones as credentials. Instead of physical key cards or fobs, users employ their mobile devices to unlock doors and access secure areas. This system typically involves a software application installed on a user’s smartphone that communicates with a building’s access control system.
The adoption of this type of access solution streamlines security protocols by offering increased convenience, enhanced audit trails, and remote management capabilities. It reduces the costs associated with managing and replacing physical credentials and often provides a more secure and easily updated system. Historically, building access relied heavily on physical keys and cards; the move to mobile-based solutions represents a significant advancement in security and operational efficiency.
