During the annual ISC West show in Las Vegas in April, the US-based Security Industry Association (SIA) gave the manufacturer STid its Mobile Apps trophy for its intuitive access control product, STid Mobile ID.
STid won the Gold Trophy for Best Access Control Mobile App. STid’s Architect Blue readers and its STid Mobile ID app provide access control by transferring the user’s access card onto their smartphone, to work alongside or replace their RFID card. Some 120 other participants were in the competition, a record since its launch in 1979.
One of the judges said that “the STid Mobile ID app has a lot of potential. What truly sets it apart is its user-friendliness. We were impressed with its various identification methods, allowing the user to open a door without getting their phone out of their pocket … This is a real improvement for organizations in search of simplicity and efficiency”. For instance, you can open a door by tapping your smartphone twice in your pocket, or by swiping your hand against the access reader, even while you are making a phone call or when your phone is in your bag.
Vincent Dupart, CEO of STid, added: “This fifth trophy recognises STid’s ability to bring advances to the security industry with its non-proprietary, open technologies that make people’s lives easier. The award consolidates our objective to develop new solutions to reach new international markets, including North America.”
