Openpath Releases Advanced “Wave to Unlock” Contactless Technology to Reduce Risk for Workplace Re-Entry
Modern Mobile Access Company Responds to Growing Demand for Workplace Solutions with New Firmware Designed to Eliminate Touch Risks for Access
Openpath, a leader in modern mobile access control, has announced an advanced hands-free “Wave to Unlock” feature as part of a new firmware release, helping reduce common touch points and allowing a contactless user experience at a safe distance. Openpath’s mobile-first, cloud-based access control solution is ideal for companies facing demands to update workspaces for returning employees to work.
Openpath’s future-proofed platform ensures building owners, managers and tenants can provide employees and visitors secured access without touching any physical surfaces. Users can wave their hand in-front of a reader from a safe distance in order to unlock an entry and Openpath’s patented Triple-Unlock technology that works over WiFi, LTE and Bluetooth, guarantees a fast and reliable connection, imperative to efficient and safe access. Users can also open a door directly from the Openpath app, increasing accessibility while maintaining security. This feature is part of Openpath’s offerings to help companies operate their spaces during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The ‘Wave to Unlock’ feature is becoming a key concept for workplace compliance initiatives to prevent the spread of COVID-19,” says John Kim, Senior Director of Product, Openpath. “We’re hearing from building owners, tenants, city planners, architects and security consultants that this touchless solution is calming some employee concerns about returning to the workplace. Creating frictionless solutions is at the core of our business and while our current product offered similar technology, we understood the need to adapt and evolve the firmware with the current state of concern.”
