Denver, United States – Innovation is challenging and can provide a significant competitive advantage. That’s how KoreLock, Inc. changes its IoT smart lock technology business. KoreLock has a utility patent for controlling a lock’s Wi-Fi radio on and off state, delivering intelligence and power savings.
“KoreLock’s patented intelligent heartbeat feature is critical to lengthening the battery life in locking devices – lowering ownership costs by leveraging an existing Wi-Fi network and significantly reducing the frequency of battery replacement,” states Rob Goff, patent inventor, and KoreLock co-founder / VP product. “No other Wi-Fi-enabled lock has this level of sophisticated intelligence or power longevity.”
KoreLock’s IoT smart lock patent encompasses a method for operating Wi-Fi-connected access control with a system of wake-up schedules for a wireless transceiver. These schedules control the frequency and what prompts the wireless transceiver to ‘sleep’ or ‘wake up’ to transmit or receive information. This intelligence saves significant energy when the Wi-Fi is not in use.
“Because Wi-Fi is an energy hog that consumes battery life, having the ability to cycle the status on and off for access control only when needed delivers significant cost savings. And going direct to Wi-Fi eliminates the need for additional equipment, specifically gateways,” adds Goff.
The KoreLock technology platform is delivered via a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) designed to meet a lock manufacturer’s needs. The KoreLock module is a plug-and-play smart lock on a chip with full-featured firmware, Wi-Fi for cloud connectivity, and Bluetooth for local control. KoreLock modules can be installed in door lock hardware, existing edge controllers, readers, keypads, electric strikes, maglocks, intercoms, and other devices with no new wiring.
KoreLock has engaged players, like Barcodes, UniKey, PDQ Manufacturing, and others. These partners have applied KoreLock’s patent-protected power-saving technology to create new cloud-connected locking devices for commercial and residential uses.
KoreLock provides end-to-end IoT smart lock enablement to lock manufacturers, alternative locking mechanisms, and software platforms. The KoreLock technology offers advanced security features, such as remote access control, activity monitoring, and real-time alerts, making it an ideal solution for commercial and residential locks.
