PropTech 50 firm Doordeck has joined the board of the Physical Security Interoperability Alliance.
The cloud-based access control software company is behind an innovative product that enables smartphone NFC keyless entry for buildings, regardless of which access control system is installed.
The London firm – a subsidiary of US company Sentry Interactive – has integrated its products and services into buildings around the world.
Established in 2015, its software and open APIs allow for interoperability with major access control system manufacturers, third-party building management and tenant experience applications.
The PSIA is a global consortium of physical security manufacturers and systems integrators focused on promoting interoperability of IP-enabled security devices and systems across the physical security ecosystem, as well as enterprise and building automation systems.
“Our company is very excited to be joining the PSIA, considering its objective to put interoperability first,” said Marwan Kathayer, head of product & co-founder of Doordeck.
“This aligns perfectly with our mission to provide mobile access software that is easy to integrate into disparate security ecosystems.”
David Bunzel, PSIA Executive Director, added: “Doordeck is part of a growing number of companies looking to disrupt the access control industry.
“They recognise that the PSIA’s PKOC specification, with its asymmetric encryption, is superior to many legacy products which continue to rely on symmetric encryption technology.
“PKOC also offers an NFC card option to support applications where this technology continues to be utilised.”
