The convenience, security and cost saving benefits of managing access control with smartphone keys are now available with ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions’ Incedo Business system. Mobile keys are another innovative addition to the Incedo ecosystem, a scalable, integrated solution created for businesses who need security which grows with them.
Global work patterns are more fluid than ever: IBM estimates 1.87 billion people will be working remotely by 2022. The convenience and security benefits of mobile keys are tailor-made for managing access with maximum efficiency. The Wireless Access Control Report 2021 confirms the trend: Almost two-thirds of organisations will have adopted mobile access control to some extent within two years, according to a wide-ranging survey of security professionals analysed in the report.
“In our mobile world, it makes sense for users to keep secure keys on a device they are already carrying,” said David Moser, Interim VP Digital and Access Solutions at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEA. “The new Incedo Business mobile key solution is simple to manage, which saves valuable time for security staff. It harnesses on-device biometrics to add another layer of site security.”
“At the same time, it gives employees and visitors the option to unlock doors with a convenient key stored on their own mobile device. Your mobile phone can them open the car park barrier, access the printer network or even operate a locker, without visitors needing to collect a card or fob face to face.”
Easy adoption for Incedo Business locks and readers
Incedo Business mobile keys are powered by Seo.
The mobile keys operate on a broad range of mobile devices, including phones, tablets and smart-watches. NFC and Bluetooth LE are both supported, ensuring versatility for the business.
ASSA ABLOY offer subscription billing, so customers can enjoy costs that are more predictable for budgeting purposes. Licenses can be edited at any time, so organisations can efficiently scale or up or down in response to their business needs.
The Incedo-enabled hardware range of wireless locks and wall readers is already compatible with mobile keys, which can be deployed alongside standard RFID credentials.
Combine higher security for businesses with increased user convenience
Mobile keys are sent over the air to employee smartphones, removing the need to buy plastic cards or pay for printing. With a mobile solution, facility managers save time previously wasted in credential handover and are not required to be on-site.
“Keyholders already use their mobile device to buy a coffee, board a plane or book a taxi,” added David Moser. “Now it becomes a secure and versatile key, too. They can travel to multiple locations contact-free, for example. Users don’t even need to open an app to unlock an authorised door. Incedo has taken the next step in our mission to keep people and businesses moving. Together.”
