Choosing a reader-less access control solution offers numerous benefits that can transform the way organizations manage security and access. Here are ten compelling reasons why opting for a reader-less access control solution like Sentry Mobile Access can be advantageous:
1. Seamless Integration: NFC mobile access integration seamlessly with access control systems of any age, ensuring compatibility and ease of implementation.
2. Expanded Compatibility: As the only NFC mobile credential provider outside of Apple and Google wallet apps, Sentry Mobile Access extends compatibility across a wider range of devices and platforms.
3. System Unification: Sentry Mobile Access unifies multiple disparate access control systems of all ages, providing a cohesive and centralized solution for streamlined access management.
4. Advanced smartphone NFC security: Using the smartphone as the active NFC reader eliminates the use of key cards or fobs that face the risk of getting lost, stolen or shared. There is also the added benefits of multi-factor authentication and biometric and military encryption
5. Integration Flexibility: Sentry’s NFC mobile credentials integrate with third-party applications, including tenant, building, and coworking applications, enhancing overall functionality and user experience.
6. Platform Consistency: With one platform for iOS and Android users, Sentry Interactive ensures a consistent and user-friendly experience, while also facilitating easy and cost effective setup.
7. Wireless Operation: Sentry Mobile Access’ wire-free solution eliminates the need for power or pulling cable, utilising small wireless ‘NFC door credential tiles’ placed next to existing readers for seamless NFC entry.
8. Environmental Sustainability: By avoiding ‘rip and replace’ practices, reader-less mobile credential solutions minimize plastic and electronic waste, contributing to environmental conservation efforts.
9. Continuous Updates: Sentry Mobile Access’s software-based approach ensures dynamic and continuous updates, including operating systems and security patches, without disruption to building operations.
10. Unrivalled Security: Sentry Interactive prioritizes security with NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) compliant protocols, ensuring robust encryption and protection against emerging threats, including quantum computing vulnerabilities.
A reader-less approach is the fastest route to NFC mobile access today. No time or costs are wasted with installing new readers and there are no restrictions or limitations associated with reader hardware integration. Sentry’s reader-less mobile access solution avoids barriers NFC mobile credential providers are running into when transitioning buildings to mobility, such as having to rip and replace readers installed prior to 2017 due to compatibility issues. A reader-less approach bypasses this integration and communicates directly to the access control server, the user’s Android or iOS smartphone becomes the secure active reader.
Reader-less mobile credential solutions allow you to keep what you’ve got. Unlock interoperable NFC mobile credentials today for your existing systems with Sentry Mobile Access.
