Mobile access is changing the way we interact with buildings and how we manage their security. The smartphone becomes a mobile key just as easily as it transforms into a payment card or a map. The device which users already carry enables them to unlock buildings or rooms, across one or multiple sites, securely and at a lower cost to the business than alternative credentials.
According to one recent access control market report, users view the benefits as a powerful triad of convenience, cost and security. The security of a mobile credential offers enhancements over a smart-card or fob because biometrics are built into almost every modern smartphone via fingerprint or face ID unlocking.
