Smart Access

Smart Security for Smart Phones

What can NYC  learn from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee when it
comes to security for personnel? They've enabled a blue tooth access control system
that works with an app on student’s smart phones. This makes life so much easier
for students and staff.  

Corporations, houses of worship & colleges in NYC could benefit from this new
technology.

“You hold up your device to the card reader, just as you would a contactless
card, and it sends that credential to the reader and unlocks the door, giving
you access,” Mark Brown, assistant director of business services at the
university explains.

This system is much quicker for issuing credentials than the older system with an
ID card.

This leaves me wondering about those whose phone battery is dead, those who forgot
their phones and the small population of people who have flip phones.
