"This project focuses on the development of a new electro-mechanic access system with dematerialized keys for residential market. This new electro-mechanic system to open doors will use devices like smart and cell phones integrating Bluetooth 4.0 CAC, RFID and NFC technologies. Openways is part of the value chain as ""manufacturer and seller"" to the end users or to distributors. In the first case the purchase will be directly done to Openways through its own web page and in the second case Openways will sell the solution to distributors like Fnac, Media Markt, Amazon, etc.
As explained, Openways has already started a market test in USA with very good acceptance through its own web page and started conversations with Amazon, this will ensure the possibility to sell the product also in Europe through this huge distribution company.
Regarding commercial exploitation, Open Ways will need, as previously explained, the collaboration of distributors like Fnac, Media Markt, Amazon, etc... Initial conversations have already started with all of them, and it’s very likely that Okidokeys system will be available in those companies for buying.
The main characteristics of the system are:
- Your phone becomes your key. Smartphones and regular cell-phones will both be compatible.
- Other means: by using the smart-reader, that integrates RFID, NFC and Bluetooth 4.0 technologies the use of smart tags will also be possible to open the door.
- Smart Gateway: It pairs with the smart-lock using the WiFi network in order to get online management options.
- Current metal keys may continue to be used.
- Grant access via the app for smartphones, tablets or through the Internet. Useful for: plumber visits, friends or renting your flat, etc.
- Create, share or revoke Smart-Tags keys from anywhere.
