The relentless advance of digitalisation is driving demand for ever more secure, seamless, and user-friendly access control systems. Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology stands at the forefront of this transformation, bringing robust precision, security, and reliability for residential, commercial, and enterprise security applications. Rethinking Access Control Challenges Traditional wireless access methods, including Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and NFC, face challenges like unpredictable reliability and vulnerability to relay attacks. NFC, while secure, lacks the hands-free, frictionless operation modern environments require. Incidents of unintended access breaches highlight the need for a more sophisticated solution…
