Sometimes the best way to protect something is to hide it.
To some people, a keyhole or a padlock or a handle on something will act as a public notice that reads Valuables Inside. Those who are motivated to steal notice these signals. And when they’re identified by those people, they can tell the story about how to break them at a glance.
With keyless access, you can design a more secure system to protect your assets with a fully hidden mechanism. Imagine how the hood of your car opens, and you’ll have a good idea of what we mean. With a Sera4 Lock Controller, you can design a door, a panel or other secure hinged compartment that pops open by the touch of a smartphone. A door like this is more secure because it’s more hidden. It won’t have a handle, a keyhole, a padlock or other signals that it opens. And even when somebody might want to break in, it’s not clear where or how to start an attack.
5G demands denser networks in urban areas. This means that communications equipment is being installed in places like fake trees, park benches and lamp posts. These are places where people aren’t expecting to find anything valuable, and keeping access points obscure keeps them out of sight and out of mind. The only way to tell that there is an access point is to check with the Teleporte app on your phone.
Reliability
In the unfortunate event of a system failure, a door without a handle can be a difficult thing to open. The most common type of failure is a power failure: dead batteries. This is where our Access Pad can help. It provides a power connector (for a common 9V battery) to conveniently and discreetly power a dead system to get it open. In the rare case of a radio or app incompatibility, the Access Pad enables our Failsafe Unlock feature.
With the latest technology, access points can be designed to be more secure and look better at the same time.
