Gemalto and Dessmann enhance smart lock security with mobile convenience
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Amsterdam, June 19, 2017 - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader
in digital security, is enabling security and reliable connectivity for
Dessmann's new smart lock platform. The new solution from the global
manufacturer of smart locks and safe boxes incorporates Gemalto's Machine
Identification Modules (MIM) and Secure Elements (SE), empowering users to lock
and unlock doors with their smartphones or create digital key chains for
multiple locks.
The solution provides increased security compared to traditional locks.The
mobile app can be used to create spare or temporary virtual keys remotely and
can simplify shared accommodation services.
For instance, it is able to track and monitor who unlocked a door recently. The
application also sends instant notifications if a door is forced and can
automatically trigger the lock's built-in alarm.
The smart lock market is likely to expand rapidly over the next few years.
According to Transparency Market Research, its compound annual growth rate is
estimated to reach up to 18.3%, leading to a substantial increase in market
value, from US$226.7 million in 2016 to US$1.01 billion by 2024. Fuelled by
rising standards of living and increased awareness regarding physical security
and safety, the Asia Pacific region is fast becoming an important market for the
smart lock industry.

important for us. We are constantly on the lookout for complementary technology
that enhances the security of our products and services." said ZHU Zhiling, CEO
of Dessmann. "Gemalto has a catalogue of solutions and expertise we need for our
new smart lock. Its ability to deliver end-to-end security solutions as well as
