With Openow from SMARTair your mobile phone becomes a secure virtual key

Openow, the new complete mobile solution for SMARTair wireless access control, makes life easier and more secure for everyone. Users of a SMARTair access control system can open doors with their mobile phone and the Openow app. Facility managers can send, revoke and update virtual keys from anywhere. For security staff, business owners and every user of a site — from nurses on a ward, to mobile workers in a co-working space, to students in an accommodation block — Openow takes mobile credentials to the next level.

With Openow, facility managers and security administrators have more control and no longer need to administer physical credentials. And it’s fast and easy to upgrade an existing SMARTair system to work with Openow or to install mobile-ready, wireless SMARTair access control from scratch.

The new Openow app has been designed around convenience, security and user experience with virtual keys. 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.

Openow also adds further layers of security to every premises
