"As these improved Wallet App features have been provided to Iphone end users since May, this new version lets access control system manufacturers, integrators and dealers provide their Android customer base with the simplest to use mobile access credentials in the market," explains Scott Lindley, general manager of Farpointe Data. "Similar to our most recent Wallet App supporting Apple's latest IOS version13.1.3, Conekt's Android solution provides the easiest way to distribute mobile access credentials with features that include allowing the user to register only once and requiring only the handset's phone number. No portal accounts or activation features are required. By removing these and additional personal information disclosures, we also address privacy concerns that have been slowing adoption of this technology."

For instance, the newly improved widget lets the user make up to three mobile control credentials as widgets. This saves time by allowing quicker access to credentials supporting divergent building systems such as parking, lobby and suite specific access control systems, directly from the Android's home screen.

With 3-D touch, a new pressure-sensitive feature, the user simply pushes on the Wallet App to select from up to three of the most commonly used mobile credentials. Each user can choose their own combination. For example, a delivery driver may choose to simply enter the van parking area, receiving dock and restrooms, while the vice president gets access to the boardroom, executive dining room and reserved parking facility.

Lastly, auto-unlock lets a user select the Conekt mobile access credential they want as their favourite. Once activated and designated, a little star appears in the upper right corner of the mobile access credential. As the favourite, this mobile credential is transmitted immediately whenever the Wallet App is selected.
