Openpath, Allegion Expand Mobile & Cloud-Based Access Control
Openpath, a leader in touchless, modern access control and workplace safety automation, announced a cloud-to-cloud integration with Schlage NDE and LE mobile-enabled wireless locks from Allegion U.S. This new integration provides a better selection of cost-effective security solutions across an organization and makes Openpath one of the only physical access control providers in the commercial space to natively support a Bluetooth credential with Schlage locks. The integration is configured easily through a mobile device and doesn’t require additional wiring or Openpath hardware.
Leveraging Allegion’s ENGAGE technology, Openpath’s seamless integration with Schlage NDE and LE mobile-enabled wireless locks allow organizations to expand their security coverage to include spaces throughout a building where installing and maintaining wired access control previously was cost-prohibitive, such as interior low-traffic spaces, nonwired common areas, storage closets, conference rooms and more. This is particularly important for large operations with sensitive spaces, such as education and healthcare facilities, where it’s necessary to ensure security across virtually every square foot of a building or campus without disrupting the day-to-day flow of workers, employees and visitors.
Users unlock and lock the Schlage wireless locks via Openpath’s mobile credentials, key cards, fobs and remote capabilities. Security teams will be able to view Openpath and Schlage reporting and management logs through a single control panel in the Openpath platform, which can be managed remotely. Authorized users also can activate lockdown or unlock Schlage wireless locks remotely from the Openpath app or Control Center.
“As the tenants return to commercial buildings and offices, there is no shortage of challenges and demands for new commercial building environments that prioritize safety, offer cutting-edge technology and hybrid-schedule flexibility,” says James Segil, president and cofounder of Openpath. “We are proud to work with Allegion and its premier brand, Schlage, to help change office landscapes for the better, solving for the needs of today and tomorrow.”
“When it comes to the frictionless workplace of the future, it’s clear that smart, scalable technology solutions like Openpath will play an essential role in helping businesses and commercial property owners adapt to the new world of work,” says Jeff Koziol, PACS Business Development Manager, at Allegion. “We are excited to integrate with Openpath’s mobile-security platform to create more value for our customers with less overhead cost, best-in-class features and an unparalleled user experience.”
