Openpath co-founders Alex Kazerani and James Segil most recently
co-founded EdgeCast Networks, a global content delivery network that
grew to over 1,000 employees in ten years, resulting in several office
expansions as well as international branch openings. Traditional access
control was a major pain point for the founders during this period of
rapid expansion, and the experience inspired them to build a smarter
security system for the modern workplace.
Mr. Kazerani, Openpath's CEO, said: "I am excited to launh Openpath
with my long-time business partners and usher in the future of the smart
office. The Internet of Things completely revolutionized the home
security industry, and we are now using this powerful technology to
innovate the long-stagnant, $6
billion access control industry."
Unlike traditional systems, Openpath Access is cloud-based, meaning it
easily scales with the business and seamlessly integrates with platforms
like G Suite and Office 365. Patented SurePath Mobile technology ensures
reliability and quick entry via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and LTE (News - Alert), while
encryption shields against cloning, sniffing and key copying. The system
gives administrators more control than ever before with scheduled
locking, custom zones, user-level permissions and lockdown capabilities.
Mr. Segil, President and Co-founder of Openpath, said: "The Openpath
system simplifies access control so that business owners and managers
can spend their time focused on what matters most: running their
businesses. Feedback from our beta customers over the past year has been
fantastic and we are eager to bring modern access control to businesses
everywhere."
Steve Arhancet, Co-CEO at Team Liquid, an early Openpath customer, said:
"There's no other system built as well as Openpath's that enables
individuals to use their phone as a key and hosts its software in the
cloud. I love that Openpath Access integrates with Google (News - Alert) Suite,
automatically enabling our registered employees and vendors to enter our
facilities when they need to. For any CEO or facility manager looking
for a more intuitive, beautifully designed and secure access control
system, I highly recommend Openpath."
