Openow, the complete mobile solution for SMARTair wireless access control, makes life easier and more secure for everyone by enabling the opening of doors with just a mobile phone and the Openow app.

With Openow, facility managers and security administrators have more control and no longer need to administer physical credentials and facility managers can send, revoke and update virtual keys from anywhere and information transfer between administration software, smartphone app and the SMARTair device is protected by end-to-end encryption.

“Right from set-up — involving simple, secure email subscription — users find the Openow app a joy to operate. Tap a SMARTair lock with your phone carrying a valid virtual key, and the door unlocks. The device you carry everywhere — the smartphone — now replaces a separate RFID card with MIFARE, DESFire, iCLASS and other proximity technologies.” explains Félix Morán SMARTair Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY.

Users also save time, because there’s no longer any need to collect or validate an access card: your key is already on the smartphone. Openow makes it easy to organise virtual keys inside the app, check how long they are valid, and protect them further with an individual PIN. If you have virtual keys from multiple sites or premises, Openow easily handles those, too. No more key-card, or wondering where you left it; no more appointments to pick one up or have it revalidated.

The SMARTair Openow app is free to download now from Apple’s App Store and the Google Play Store. For more information, see www.tesa.es/discoverwireless
