Do your wireless locks already have mobile capability built in?
Mobile access is changing the way we manage buildings and their security. The smartphone becomes a mobile key just as easily as a payment card or a map. A device which users are already carrying can unlock buildings or rooms, across one or multiple sites, securely and at a lower cost to the business than standard credentials.
Powering access control wire-free with intelligent electronic keys
Programmable keys put the powerful features of electronic access control into a convenient technology. They have the advantages of traditional lock-and-key security: familiar and user-friendly. But they have evolved.

Locks With a Panic Function
The ÜLock B locks from Südmetall provide security on both sides of the door – to protect human lives and valuables: there is always an escape route guaranteed by the panic function in the direction of escape. And the self-locking function ensures that the door is otherwise always locked. The lock has no parts that can be attacked from outside as the electronics are completely enclosed within the lock housing, and the lock itself has a high resistance to mechanical manipulation. The best possible encryption is used for data transmission between lock, RFID card and RFID reader – that ensures optimum protection against break-ins. Access control administration is through the license-free ÜManagement 2.0 software.

Touchless Biometrics Help Sports Fans and Stadium Staff Play Ball with Healthy Access
Covid-19 forced many sports seasons to end abruptly. Others never had a chance to begin or were forced to play without fans, costing the industry billions of dollars in lost revenue from tickets and advertising, as well as weakening tourism to sports-centric cities. After nearly 18 months of limited in-person events, some stadiums are beginning to feel confident that fans can return to watch the sports they love in person thanks to medical innovation and infrastructure solutions for keeping fans and staff healthy.

Access Control Solutions for Critical Infrastructure and High Security Applications
We hardly notice them, but they are there, all day and every day; the equipment installations and their control and monitoring systems that supply us all with electricity, telecommunications, gas and water. Those are perhaps the services that first come to mind without which we would all have serious difficulties very quickly – daily life would also be radically different without quite a few others. Ensuring that these installations are not accessed by unauthorized people is the job of well thought-out security systems. GIT SECURITY takes a look at some of the solutions to mitigate the risks of theft, vandalism and acts of terrorism and to protect critical infrastructure and other high security locations.

Assa Abloy: Wireless Access Solutions for Healthcare Security
Security stakes are high at healthcare premises. Patients expect and deserve privacy and safety. Yet most medical buildings must remain welcoming spaces, many open around the clock. The protection of drugs and confidential data is critical — and every breach demands thorough investigation. Such needs go way beyond what the mechanical security was designed to meet.

The smartphone is changing access control and security management at every scale and level, from global corporations to small companies. Making the switch to mobile access control, however, can seem daunting. Questions may arise around cost, practicality and the potential need for new door hardware. Yet going mobile is actually a lot simpler and quicker than many think, as one new guide explains.

No Touch, No Problem: How QR Codes Add Benefits to Access Control
While QR codes aren’t new, it’s fair to say that 2020 became the comeback year for this technology. Be it the replacement of paper menus with QR codes on tables, which guests could scan to get a virtual menu on their mobile device, touchless payment options, or access control solutions that allow contactless visitor management – the global pandemic put contactless technology back in the spotlight. What also came into focus was the healthcare industry, that had to suddenly adjust to the new situation – probably more than any other industry. In the attempt of keeping people healthy and safe that’s when these two sectors crossed – because access control (specifically with QR code systems) played an interesting role for healthcare establishments.
