In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, the need for efficient, secure, and future-proofed building access has become more critical than ever. Large corporate enterprises with large numbers of employees and networked doors across various sectors such as high rise commercial buildings, factories, universities, hospitals, or airports can’t afford to allow their security to become vulnerable, therefore it becomes a necessity to transition to modern access control technologies, like mobile NFC credentials.
Traditionally, the upgrade to NFC mobile access has often been associated with significant hardware investments, requiring the rip and replacement or upgrading of existing reader access control systems. However, many enterprises run into the dilemma of balancing the imperative to modernize with the constraints of budgetary considerations. Many often haven’t prioritized or factored in the extent of reader access control hardware upgrade costs and implementation time.
Unlock NFC Mobile Access Credentials With No Disruption to Hardware
This is where the concept of readerless NFC mobile access emerges as a cutting edge solution that offers the fastest route to NFC mobile access while minimizing existing infrastructure disruption. With a readerless mobile credentialing solution there’s no need to worry about rip and replacing or upgrading your existing system hardware. With one single software-only integration, you can make your system or systems future-ready and accommodate NFC mobile access via both Apple and Android devices. With the user’s smartphone acting as the active mobile NFC reader, security is optimized and costs are minimized.
One Mobile Credential For a Portfolio of Systems
One of the key advantages of integrating Sentry’s readerless mobile credentials is their ability to interface and work with multiple disparate physical access control systems from a combination of manufacturers, managed under one centralized platform. A readerless approach makes this possible due to the ability to bypass the door reader integration and simply communicate directly with the access control system’s servers. This provides a centralized ‘single pane of glass’ solution for property managers, to be able to manage access and door unlock data across a portfolio of buildings using different systems, just as easily as one.
How is Readerless Mobile Credentialing Different to Wallet App Credentials?
Unlike Sentry’s non-proprietary readerless NFC mobile access software, other NFC mobile credential solutions have to use mobile Wallet apps. With Wallet apps comes extra license fees and certain restrictions such as the need for reader upgrades for any site with readers that were installed prior to 2017. A readerless approach like Sentry Interactive’s offers unparalleled flexibility and scalability with no disruption, a true software-first solution.
Unlocking Proprietary Systems with Non Proprietary Software
Sentry’s readerless mobile credential software solution unlocks traditional system hardware, providing interoperability for proprietary access control systems, no matter the brand or age. It is the only readerless NFC mobile credential solution that enables you to keep what you’ve got including existing hardware investments and physical credentials. Sentry’s readerless mobile credential software, stands as the pioneering force in the realm of readerless NFC mobile credentialing. Providing enterprises with the means to seamlessly transition to modernized access control solutions while preserving the integrity and functionality of their existing systems. With Sentry Interactive, the future of mobile access control is not just within reach – it’s already here.
