Gallagher’s app-based mobile solution, Gallagher Mobile Connect, is continuing to receive industry recognition after being named a ‘Gold’ winner in the Secure Campus 2022 Awards.
Gallagher Mobile Connect is a unique mobile access application that harnesses the power of Bluetooth wireless technology to transform a mobile device into an access card. As a digital, on-phone alternative to the traditional ID card, Mobile Connect simplifies life on campus by removing the inconvenience of issuing physical cards for IDs and providing remote provisioning of credentials, ideal for large campuses during busy enrolment periods.
This accolade is the sixth industry award win for Gallagher Mobile Connect and recognizes the extensive business value and trusted credential technology it brings to campuses.
“Gallagher Mobile Connect has proved itself as an invaluable tool for managing access control across learning communities,” says Steve Bell, Chief Technology Officer at Gallagher. “Through interfacing with Gallagher Command Centre via our cloud app, Mobile Connect provides users with the best of both worlds - a highly secure access credential that is also flexible and convenient to meet the changing needs of growing campus facilities.”
The Secure Campus Awards are now in their fifth year and honor outstanding campus security services and products.
