With Near-field communication at its center, this innovative access device for door handle is key for future cars necessities. Safety is upgraded via upgrading the physical key to a smartphone or an NFC car apparatus. Furthermore, low power consumption, Lock and Unlock touch sensors and secure communication- James Bond’s Q couldn’t be prouder. The secure near-field communication technology allows you to open, lock, start and control the vehicle via the smartphone.
“Tomorrow never dies”: who doesn’t remember the mesmerizing scene of the smart car in the James Bond movie from 1997 at Hamburg’s airport hangars? Pierce Brosnan in the titular rule, with the iconic Desmond Llewelyn as Q, controlled and cruised James’ new BMW car from a far via mobile phone. Then it was a spin of fiction. now, not any more.
Introducing the new Near-Field Communication (NFC) targeted remote car access module for door handles. Dubbed “KGEA-DH-NFCTS” by Tech visioner PREMO GROUP, this customizable slick design for car door handles will truly emphasize the Smart part of the Smart key car access. James Bond’s Q could not have been prouder as this intricate, but elegant, module is equipped with Lock and Unlock touch sensors, Pocket lighting via LED tech and an NFC reader. Thus, with this module the user can open, lock, start and control the car through the smartphone in an easy, new, safer & faster way.
With the industry shaken, not stirred, by this recent advancement in Keyless access’ field, this NFC car Access device has a high-pressure over-molding that provides a high degree of protection against water and crashes. Currently, Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) and Passive Keyless Entry (PKE) technologies had stationed themselves as the new standard in the automotive remote access market. If the remote option doesn’t work- the user is left with a clumsy physical key option. Through this module, the car can be accessed in two ways. The first is by a push of a button. The capacitive touch sensor detects the presence of a hand, which activates the NFC circuit and makes the car automatically open. the second involves an approach by the user to the smartphone or NFC card close to the door handle of the car. In this way, the NFC communication is enabled without using cloud or app services. Once the user approaches the smartphone, the LED is activated to open the doors.
As if seeing the future, head of sales and global business development at PREMO GROUP, Jorge Hermoso, reflected last year that “PREMO started back in 1996 with applications mainly in automotive with remote keyless entry, immobilizers and later on with passive keyless entry”.
This module is designed for the smart access and smart start mechanisms in mind. Such industries include smart access to infrastructure and facilities, smart engine starting configuration settings in other vehicle instruments (namely climate control seats & multimedia circuits) and automotive rental and access. Furthermore, this system allows software updates using OTA programming- which means that there is no need to change the handle for each software update. In addition, active security is a given through cryptographic services with low power consumption, both in operation and sleep modes.
