Real estate investor and developer, Ghelamco, gets mobile and physical access control solutions across several of its prestigious projects in Warsaw, Poland with HID Global.
The Warsaw HUB
Offering a variety of office space, all the developments are multi-tenanted by corporate clients and to support this, Ghelamco’s physical access control strategy included HID Mobile Access solutions and door readers aimed to secure entrances at four flagship sites in the capital:
Mobile-enabled smart card readers have been installed throughout Warsaw HUB and UNIT. In Warsaw Spire, while physical cards are still predominately used, HID iCLASS SE readers with bluetooth and NFC modules have been fitted for testing to support a phased transition to mobile access.
Meanwhile, mobile-ready HID Signo readers will be installed in the upcoming Bridge skyscraper leveraging Seos as its underlying credential technology.
The Warsaw UNIT
“Innovation is our hallmark, so we want to use the latest technology on projects. Many of our tenants want mobile access today. Others, however, still prefer physical cards, so selecting a vendor that supports both in tandem was imperative,” Michał Nitychoruk, Ghelamco Poland’s Communications Manager, said.
In addition, feature-rich applications have been implemented from Signal OS, a Polish proptech software development company, founded by Ghelamco.
Utilising the Google Cloud Platform service at the backend, the software is designed to manage all physical access control systems in the buildings, and is said to also be able to integrate lift and parking systems, CCTV, visitor management and, in the future, other building management systems and sensors that monitor air and water quality.
The introduction of mobile access has helped Ghelamco attract new clients who want to lease space in green, efficient and technology-led buildings, according to HID.
Looking to the future, Ghelamco has said it intends to extend and augment the access control approach in its estate by adding support for digital wallets to enhance speed of access and user convenience.
