Digital Monitoring Products (DMP) has released a new update to Virtual Keypad, which introduces mobile wallet credentials powered by Wavelynx.

This update brings the latest in mobile credential technology to the DMP line of access control products and services.

“Without the burden”

Warren Hill, Executive Director of Product Management at DMP commented: “Adding this functionality to Virtual Keypad allows DMP dealers to offer the latest in access credential technologies without the burden of deploying multiple processes and apps.

“Customers are able to upgrade their access control with the app they already use to manage their systems,” Hill concluded.

The product

Virtual Keypad is a software platform developed and supported by DMP that allows end users to manage all aspects of their security and access control systems.

Mobile wallet credentials enhance security across facilities and introduce a new level of convenience, reflecting society’s shift toward mobile-based solutions for all aspects of daily life.

“Delivering innovative and secure access solutions”

Rob Lydic, President, Wavelynx stated: “Our partnership with DMP to power their mobile wallet credential and reader solution reflects our shared commitment to delivering innovative and secure access solutions for customers.

“Together, we’re providing users with greater flexibility while upholding the highest security standards in modern access control,” added Lydic.

Mobile credentials and NFC technology

Mobile wallet credentials allow users to add their access credentials to Apple and Google devices, enabling them to use their phones for access control when used with compatible readers, like the DMP multi-technology readers powered by Wavelynx.

While Bluetooth credentials rely on a device’s Bluetooth communication, wallet credentials use the NFC technology found in most modern smartphones.

This NFC technology is the same secure and reliable system used for tap-to-pay transactions.

With this technology, the credential will grant access even if the Virtual Keypad app is not running and works even when the phone is not charged.

DMP Dealers can sign up for a monthly subscription to a pool of reusable credentials.
