Proxy is bringing to market a new smartphone-based identity signal reader the startup company bills as being “so small it can be installed behind existing access card readers in just minutes.”
The universal reader, called the Mobile Reader Nano, is said to provide employees, tenants and visitors with smartphone-based building access with no impact to existing security systems. Before now, companies that wanted to enable smartphone-based building access had to replace their existing readers, according to the company.
The Nano operates on 2.4GHz (Bluetooth Low Energy) frequency. Signals emitted from a person’s smartphone replace the multitude of keys, cards, badges, apps and passwords people typically need to gain access to the buildings, devices and services they frequently use, according to the company.
The new reader is said to work with all access control providers, so there is no need to modify or replace backend access software. When both landlords and tenant companies implement Proxy Mobile Reader Nano, they can provide completely frictionless lobby-to-office access to tenants and visitors.
