Mobile Credential extends the capabilities of an infinias access control solution to users' smart-phones—delivering enhanced security and convenient authorized access to designated doors at a facility.
infinias Mobile Credential provides complete access control functionality, allowing users to present their credential via the network. Users are provided with, and can request access to just the doors for which they have authorized access. The credential is authenticated and the event documented by the infinias Intelli-M Access management software each time it is presented for use. If a mobile phone is lost, or an employee terminated, no access to the phone is required to immediately disable the credential.
“The use of infinias' Mobile Credential adds a layer of security and flexibility for any organization,” said Wayne Jared, President ofinfinias.
“Unlike cards and other access credentials, people tend to be much more aware of the location of their mobile phone than their traditional credential. If a phone goes missing, the owner is aware of it very quickly, while the loss of aproximity card could go unnoticed or unreported fordays. With the ability of current smartphones to require a biometric, pin or gesture to unlock the phone, you effectively add a second layer of authentication to the credential,” added Wayne Jared.
Both Android and iPhone platforms are supported by Mobile Credential,and the free mobile appcan be easily downloaded onto a user's phone. Mobile Credential integrates easily with infinias' Intelli-M Access 4.0 software for seamless network-based communication and access control management.
