SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING ELECTRONICALLY OPERABLE ACCESS DEVICES USING WI-FI AND RADIO FREQUENCY TECHNOLOGY

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed for controlling access devices including WI-FI and dual radio communications between an access control database and one or more access devices in a facility. The systems and methods allow real time communications between the database and the access devices utilizing existing communications WI-FI infrastructure in the facility while minimizing loss of battery life of the access devices by employing the radio network to target all or a portion of the access devices for communications when needed.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
transmitting a first signal from an access control device via a first network to a radio frequency bridge device; in response to the first signal, transmitting a wake up signal from the radio frequency bridge device to at least one electronic access device that is operating in a sleep mode; waking the at least one electronic access device from the sleep mode in response to receiving the wake up signal; wirelessly connecting the electronic access device to the first network with a WI-FI connection in response to waking the at least one electronic access device with the wake up signal; and transmitting operating parameters between the electronic access device and the access control device through the WI-FI connection with the first network.
