Mobile Frictionless Credentials

Mobile & Frictionless Credentials

Turn smartphones into secure access tokens. Using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and NFC, employees can keep their phones in their pockets while the door unlocks as they approach.

Your Identity, Untethered.

The era of plastic badges and key fobs is over. Empire Automation transforms the smartphone into a high-assurance access token, blending enterprise-grade security with the ultimate user experience. By leveraging Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Near Field Communication (NFC), we enable "pocket-to-door" access—allowing your team to move through secure perimeters without ever breaking their stride.

The Frictionless Experience


We believe security should be invisible until it is needed. Our mobile credentialing solution eliminates the physical barriers that slow down your workforce while increasing the integrity of every entry point.
Pocket-to-Door BLE Proximity Access

"Pocket-to-Door" Proximity Access

Utilizing sophisticated BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) "Handshake" technology, our readers detect an authorized smartphone as it approaches.
Learn More
  • Hands-Free Entry: Doors unlock automatically as the user nears, perfect for employees carrying equipment or high-traffic executive corridors.

  • Intent Detection: Our AI-driven sensors distinguish between someone just walking past a door and someone intending to enter, preventing accidental unlocks.

  • Customizable Range: Fine-tune detection distances from a few centimeters to several meters depending on the security requirements of the zone.
Multi-Protocol NFC BLE Versatility

Multi-Protocol Versatility (NFC & BLE)

Our readers are built for a fragmented device landscape, ensuring 100% compatibility across your entire workforce.
Learn More
  • NFC for Instant Validation: For high-security "Tap-to-Enter" requirements, we utilize the same encrypted protocols used by mobile payments (Apple Pay/Google Pay).

  • Cross-Platform Support: Seamlessly deploy credentials to both iOS and Android devices through a secure, encrypted app ecosystem.

  • Legacy Integration: Our hardware supports mobile and physical cards simultaneously, allowing for a phased transition to a fully mobile environment.
Remote OTA Credential Management

Remote Credential Management (OTA)

Eliminate the administrative burden of physical card printing, distribution, and disposal.
Learn More
  • Over-the-Air (OTA) Issuance: Send a secure digital key to a new hire’s phone before they even step foot in the building.

  • Instant Revocation: If a device is lost or an employee leaves the company, access is revoked instantly via the central cloud dashboard—no hardware to retrieve.

  • Multi-Site Access: A single digital credential can grant a user access to offices in Singapore, London, and New York, all managed from one central HQ.

The Empire Advantage

Identity with Integrity. By linking access to a smartphone, we leverage the device's inherent security—such as biometric locks (FaceID/Fingerprint) and Find My Device tracking. This creates a multi-layered security protocol that physical cards simply cannot match.

The Security Advantage

Feature Traditional RFID Cards Empire Mobile Credentials
Cloning Risk High (Easily copied with $20 tools) Zero (Encrypted & Device-Linked)
Sharing Risk High (Employees swap badges) Low (Phone biometrics/PIN required)
Issuance Speed 1-2 Days (Physical Delivery) < 30 Seconds (Digital Delivery)
Sustainability High Waste (Plastic/PVC) 100% Digital / Green
Mobile Access Control Target Use Cases

Target Use Cases

  • Corporate Headquarters: Provide a premium, "VIP" experience for executives and employees with hands-free lobby and elevator access.

  • Flexible Workspaces: Manage high-turnover memberships by issuing temporary mobile keys that automatically expire at a set time.

  • Data Centers: Use "Two-Factor" mobile authentication—requiring the user to unlock their phone via FaceID before the door reader grants access.

  • Industrial Sites: Enable workers in protective gear to enter secure zones without having to fumble for a physical card.
