Silverstein Properties introduces access with employee badge in Apple Wallet at 7 World Trade Center

Silverstein’s Inspire app integrates with HID Origo, a cloud platform provided by HID Global, that enables the management of mobile credentials, while SwiftConnect Access Cloud manages and connects disparate access control systems. The solution uses HID’s unique Seos credential technology to deliver an intuitive and secure access experience when a user presents their iPhone or Apple Watch to an HID Signo Reader.

“We are delighted to partner with Silverstein and SwiftConnect to bring new-age experiences that transform how property owners provide value to employees and tenants,” says Björn Lidefelt, Executive Vice President and Head of HID Global. “We are excited to extend our collaboration with Apple in providing this groundbreaking experience that transforms how users navigate the modern workplace.”

Silverstein’s use of employee badge in Apple Wallet allows users to easily access its office buildings, tenant floors, fitness centers and amenity spaces using their iPhone or Apple Watch.

Here is how the solution works:

• Seamless Set-up: Employees and tenants can add their employee badge to Apple Wallet after an initial set-up through Silverstein’s Inspire app. Once added, the badge will give them access to enter their office building, office space and shared fitness and amenity spaces. Unlike the physical cards, there is no waiting time for gaining building credentials and access for new employees.
• Simply Tap iPhone or Apple Watch to Unlock: Once an employee badge is added to Apple Wallet on iPhone or Apple Watch, users can hold their device near the door’s NFC-enabled lock to access secured areas. With Express Mode, tenants don’t need to unlock their device to use their badge in Apple Wallet. If their iPhone needs to be charged, they can still use the device to access their office or amenity areas for up to five hours with Power Reserve.
• More Secure and Private: Employee badges in Apple Wallet are stored on personal devices and take full advantage of the privacy and security built into iPhone and Apple Watch. When a Silverstein employee uses a badge in Apple Wallet, it is never shared with Apple or stored on Apple servers. If their iPhone or Apple Watch is misplaced, the owner of the device can promptly use the Find My app to lock the device and help locate it.

Starting at 7 World Trade Center, Silverstein plans to offer the service to its 50,000 office customers in New York, Philadelphia and Los Angeles in the coming months.
