Would you trust your smartphone to act as your primary secure building access key?
Cansec Systems Ltd. has introduced its Zodiac Mobile Access platform, a new system that enables smartphone-based entry for building doors. The technology integrates the company's Zodiac Connect app with specific mobile readers to streamline security management.
Why it matters
The platform decentralizes security by storing fingerprint templates locally on user devices rather than on a central server. This architecture enhances privacy while providing administrators with flexible remote tools to manage access credentials.
The system utilizes the Zodiac Connect app paired with ETMobile and BIOMobile readers, supporting access control systems that feature Wiegand output. It relies on a one-time purchase model for Forever Credentials to eliminate ongoing service fees.

Cansec Systems Ltd. is a developer and manufacturer of electronic access control hardware and software solutions.
The details
Administrators manage building access by issuing credentials via email, allowing them to activate, deactivate, or reassign permissions remotely. High-security zones utilize BIOMobile readers, which require local fingerprint verification directly on the user's smartphone.
Timeline

The Tech Race
The transition to mobile credentials represents a shift away from traditional physical keycards toward digital security ecosystems. By incorporating the Wiegand output standard, the platform bridges the gap between modern smartphone integration and established legacy infrastructure.
Users benefit from a streamlined entry process that replaces physical keys or badges with their own smartphones. The system also offers improved security through local biometric storage, ensuring personal fingerprint data remains on the device.
The takeaway
Moving to smartphone-based access removes the burden of managing physical credentials while allowing for instantaneous administrative updates. Organizations should prioritize device security protocols to ensure that locally stored biometric templates remain protected.
