Connected Technologies is partnering with Farpointe Data to expand Apple and Google Wallet credential support to CONEKT mobile-ready readers.

The partnership adds support for Farpointe’s CloudCONEKT platform to Connected Technologies’ Connect ONE wallet card solution, which uses a phone’s native wallet app to help dealers transition users to mobile credentials.

“Going beyond just a competitive cost, Connected Technologies' integration with Farpointe's CloudCONEKT benefits security integrators by deploying NFC access badges – Apple and Google, to end-users with a simple, quick, and repeatable solution that requires minimal planning,” said Francisco Alcala, North American Sales Manager at Farpointe Data.

Connect ONE is a unified cloud platform that eliminates the need for app downloads and physical badges. Wallet cards can also be dealer branded, allowing access users to see the dealer’s company name and logo when using their credential.

“Mobile credentials offer dealers a highly desirable way to attract and maintain customers while supporting new RMR opportunities,” said Dan Simon, Technical Director at Connected Technologies. “The partnership will enhance and expand the possibilities for dealers to deploy mobile credentials across a growing range of readers and manufacturers.”

Connect ONE NFC Wallet Cards work with any access control system, allowing dealers to maintain existing customer infrastructure. The platform also gives dealers flexibility to select readers based on the application rather than being tied to a single reader manufacturer.

Connect ONE integrates with existing infrastructure to enhance capabilities without costly replacements while unifying access, video, intrusion, fire and environmental systems within a single platform.
