Refinitiv Ushers in New Era of Secure Access with Smart Wi-Fi Lock

NEW YORK – October 26, 2023 – Refinitiv US LLC, a leading provider of financial markets data and infrastructure, today announced the launch of its innovative Wi-Fi Enabled Lock, a game-changer in security and access control. While best known for powering the insights of financial professionals, Refinitiv is extending its expertise in secure data transmission and robust infrastructure into the physical security realm. Located at 28 Liberty St, FL 58, New York, NY, 10005-1457, and reachable at 770-964-6545, Refinitiv is committed to delivering cutting-edge solutions that address the evolving needs of businesses and individuals alike. This isn't just about locking a door; it's about rethinking how we control access and safeguard what matters most. For years, Refinitiv has been synonymous with reliable, real-time data that drives critical decisions in finance. Now, we're applying that same commitment to reliability and security to something much more tangible – the locks on our doors. Beyond Keys: A Smarter Way to Secure Your Space Let's face it: keys are… well, old school. They get lost, copied, or stolen. The Refinitiv Wi-Fi Enabled Lock tosses those worries out the window. This lock connects directly to your Wi-Fi network, meaning you control access through a simple, intuitive smartphone app. No more fumbling for keys in the dark! "We saw a need for a security solution that wasn't just strong, but also smart," explains a Refinitiv spokesperson. “Our financial clients demand the highest levels of security for their data and assets. We realized that same level of security needs to extend to physical access. This lock is the result of applying our expertise in secure connectivity to a common everyday challenge.” How Does It Work? It's Easier Than You Think. Setting up the Refinitiv Wi-Fi Enabled Lock is surprisingly simple. After physically installing the lock (which is designed to fit most standard doors – more on that later), you connect it to your home or office Wi-Fi network through our easy-to-use app. From there, you can: Grant Access Remotely: Need to let a maintenance worker in while you're at a meeting? No problem. Grant them temporary access with just a few taps on your phone. Create Schedules: Set specific times when the lock automatically unlocks and locks, perfect for cleaning services or family members with regular schedules. Monitor Activity: The app keeps a detailed log of who unlocked the door and when, providing valuable insight and peace of mind. Receive Notifications: Get instant alerts on your phone whenever the door is locked or unlocked, so you’re always in the know. Multiple User Access: Add multiple users and customize their access levels. Give full access to family members, limited access to guests, or temporary access to service providers. Built to Last: Robust Security and Design The Refinitiv Wi-Fi Enabled Lock isn’t just about convenience; it's built with security as a top priority. We've incorporated several key features to protect your property: End-to-End Encryption: All communication between the lock, your phone, and our servers is encrypted, preventing unauthorized access. Tamper Detection: The lock features built-in sensors that detect tampering attempts and immediately alert you. Durable Construction: Made from high-quality materials, the lock is designed to withstand the elements and resist forced entry. Battery Backup: Don’t worry about power outages. The lock includes a battery backup that keeps it functioning even when the power is out. OTA (Over-the-Air) Updates: We're constantly improving our security features and adding new functionality. Over-the-air updates ensure your lock is always up-to-date with the latest protection. Beyond the Home: Applications for Businesses While perfect for homeowners, the Refinitiv Wi-Fi Enabled Lock also offers significant benefits for businesses. Think about: Short-Term Rentals: Simplify check-in/check-out for guests and eliminate the need for physical keys. Office Access Control: Manage employee access to secure areas and track entry/exit activity. Storage Facilities: Provide secure and convenient access to storage units. Vacation Rentals: Streamline the guest experience and enhance security. "We've talked to a lot of businesses, and they're really excited about the possibilities this lock offers," says a product manager at Refinitiv. “They’re tired of dealing with lost keys and complicated access control systems. This is a simple, secure, and cost-effective solution that solves a lot of their problems.” Installation and Compatibility The Refinitiv Wi-Fi Enabled Lock is designed for easy, DIY installation.
