The Smartlock Access Management Solution controls access to mission critical equipment, housed in the access nodes of network infrastructure. The Bluetooth Smartkey (SKY-003) is one of the main building blocks of this Solution. It uses Android® or iOS® based smartphones to operate any of the mechatronic locks in the Smartlock range. The Smartkey energises these locks with its internal battery, which is rechargeable.
The Bluetooth Smartkey manages all communication with the locks to authenticate the user and operate the system. The user interface is provided through an app, to proprietary software installed on a smartphone. Data communication to the software is provided by pairing the smartphone of the authorised user to the Smartkey via a Bluetooth® interface. Access requests are pre-authorised and downloaded to Smartkeys, uniquely assigned to users, via the smartphone.
The Bluetooth Smartkey captures all events in a log file and updates the management software of all activity and statuses via the smartphone. As a hardware protection feature, the Smartkey can be disabled at the central platform, should the need arise. In addition, users can be GPS located by the solution.
