HID Global to Showcase Seamless Access Control Experiences Using Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Technology at CES 2020
Today’s secure access technologies typically require users to enter a code on a keypad, present a badge, fob or phone to a reader, or place a finger on a scanner to enter a secured area. With the growing use of smartphones for mobile access plus UWB technology in place, a user can simply approach a door and opens it automatically — all without additional intervention or any intentional action from the user. The door automatically locks when the user is on the outside of the designated secure area.
Access control systems that leverage the power of UWB technology will monitor the user’s approach, seamlessly verify their security credentials, and allow them to access secured areas, enabling completely frictionless yet secure entry and exit.
