Novotel Convention & Spa Antananarivo Hotel has implemented smart locks with digital key and mobile access, along with contactless check-in for convenience and safety.
The survey was conducted online with more than 1,500 consumers who attended ticketed events in 2019, parents of school-aged children, and workers at large factories, warehouses and distribution centers. Nearly 7 in 10 (69%) respondents value the general sense of safety that physical security measures provide, and over half (54%) believe there is deterrent value in those measures.
While access cards still play a strong role in the access control market, some companies are moving toward smartphone Bluetooth-enabled technology to give residents frictionless access through secured doors, elevators and turnstiles.
In an ever-accelerating trend, estimates are that 90 percent of the wireless locks sold are integrated with other smart devices. No longer will you struggle to manage a variety of insecure and vulnerable physical credentials when you can manage all of that through a mobile app. As this market expands into non-traditional access control applications, the necessity for an access control credential on an ubiquitous mobile device becomes mandatory. In the very near future, everyone will carry a credential, and a mobile credential housed on a smartphone is the only viable way to address these needs.
Last September, four mobile carriers (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon) announced Project Verify, a way to log into apps without making a new account or password by instead relying on smartphones to authenticate identities.
In a recent study, respondents say that mobile technology enables them to optimize inventory planning and management (96 percent) and point-of-sale (96 percent), personalize the customer experience (96 percent), as well as boost employee productivity and motivation (95 percent).
New research reveals that enterprise users and security professionals alike are frustrated by the inefficiency and lax security of passwords for user authentication.
According to a report from App Annie, people use nine applications daily, and in a month, they use 30. Why is this relevant? Brivo’s study, “3 Key Drivers to Technology Adoption in Physical Security”, reveals 81 percent of survey respondents are reliant on mobile applications to manage their facilities and people and 62 percent of them are using one to five mobile applications for work.
HID Global® was selected by Skanska—one of the world’s leading project development and construction groups with operations in Europe and North America—to incorporate HID’s mobile solution for secure access to its new office complex in Warsaw.
