SwiftConnect and Wavelynx have announced that a deployment at Stream Realty Partners’ RiverSouth Austin marks the “first” use of their access credentials in Samsung and Google Wallet in the corporate real estate market.

According to the companies, tenants and employees can use their Android device and Galaxy phone for secure building access at Austin’s intelligent building.

Connected access

“SwiftConnect’s AccessCloud platform enables customers to easily and securely store their corporate badge in Google Wallet and Company ID in Samsung Wallet,” said Matt Kopel, Co-CEO and President of SwiftConnect.

“The platform stitches together all of the credential technologies, disparate access control system infrastructures, mobile applications and other existing IT and business systems to deliver seamless, connected physical access.”

With this new feature, tenants and employees have secure access to buildings and more, right from Google Wallet.

Making the transition

“Once tenants and employees have added their Company ID to Samsung Wallet, there is no need for them to turn on their screen or unlock their phone,” said Chris Gulati, Director Business Development at Samsung Electronics America.

“They can just tap their phone against the reader to use their Company ID. It’s just that easy.”

With commercial real estate buildings and corporations around the world transitioning from traditional corporate offices to creating a better user experience in the workplace, the need for a simple path to mobile for convenient access via NFC wallets has been the key.

Open architecture

“Implementing NFC access credentials in Google and Samsung Wallets is simple with Wavelynx: all it takes is a simple firmware update and if there are other readers already installed, our open architecture enables us to help customers create an implementation roadmap to enable NFC mobile wallets alongside existing plastic credentials,” said Rob Lydic, President of Wavelynx.

Connected access enablement integration by SwiftConnect, Wavelynx mobile credentials and readers and solutions from a broad ecosystem of partners make it possible for anyone with a smartphone and the right access permissions at RiverSouth Austin to navigate their workplace easier.
