With a client base that manages billions of dollars’ worth of critical infrastructure, Broschinsky sees Sera4 solutions as an opportunity to bring increased security, scalability, and reliability to PPS customers. “We have seen major security issues with batteries being stolen and other equipment out of outdoor cabinets because they only have a small padlock on them,” says Broschinsky. “Our clients are also concerned with protecting their network, and the ability to unlock a Sera4 lock without providing access to the network is key. I think the security and technology of the lock is what separates it from the competition.”

WATERLOO, ONTARIO, January 20, 2021 — OptiNet, a British Columbia-based technology services and solutions provider has been certified as Sera4’s first Authorized Integrator in Western Canada under a new certification program. 

Founded in 2001, OptiNet works with a range of organizations, from small business to enterprise, to provide telecom and IT consulting, structured cabling, and physical security services. With a number of clients across industries such as manufacturing, aviation, and municipalities, OptiNet was looking for a comprehensive wireless access control solution to offer its clients. 

James Robertson, Chief Executive Officer at OptiNet, sees an immediate opportunity for Sera4 solutions with a number of his municipal clients. “Municipalities are dealing with hundreds of doors and cabinets across hundreds of buildings. If a master key is lost, rekeying costs thousands of dollars and takes months,” says Robertson. “Offering a keyless access control solution to our clients allows us to disrupt the status quo. Often, our clients just accept that getting a key to a far-reaching area is inconvenient, or that rekeying is an expensive, time-consuming process. Sera4 solutions allow us to show our clients that there is a better way, and that we can solve a problem that they didn’t think could be solved.”  

Robertson believes that becoming a Sera4 Authorized Integrator is an excellent addition to OptiNet’s portfolio of solutions. “A key part of OptiNet’s vision and values is building a strong relationship with both customers and partners,” says Robertson. “We’re happy to partner with Sera4 and continue to build a strong relationship so we can continue to offer a more complete, comprehensive access control solution for our customers.”

We just completed updates of our Teleporte Servers (3.7) and released our Mobile App (5.5). We’re excited to share that Device Restriction is now available to all our Teleporte Enterprise subscribers.

This new feature gives control to Teleporte Administrators to limit the number of mobile phones to which Teleporte users can download keys. We are aware that some users are sharing their Teleporte credentials with other contractors to share keys. This practice obviously undermines the accuracy of the access logs and may expose our customers to risk of unauthorized entry. Administrators can now easily enable Device Restriction with a selection in the admin console.

Device Restriction works despite the upgraded privacy controls in the latest mobile operating systems. Users with multiple mobile devices connected with a Teleporte account will receive a message that only their primary device will download keys. In the event that they switch devices, as simple message to their administrator will update their primary device registration.

Device Restriction is another way that Sera4 innovates to provide security in keyless access. It will also improve the accuracy of your access logs. Please visit our support portal or contact us if you are interested in training on this new feature.

As of today, we’ve moved our headquarters to a new larger office. Not only does this accommodate our growth, but we now on the ground level with on-site warehouse and production areas.
