In the final episode of our three-part series, we shift from theory to application.
Lee Odess sits down with Esteban Pastor, Senior Product Manager at ZKTeco USA, to explore how flexibility becomes real at the door—through the products, decisions, and strategies that are shaping access control today.
What we cover:
Why Multi-Tech readers are redefining versatility—and why it matters now more than ever
The growing role of mobile credentials: NFC, Bluetooth, QR, and wallet options
Biometrics beyond the buzz—user-first adoption and ethical design
The role of integration, open architecture, and the practical realities of deployment
What it actually means to be future-proof in a long-lifecycle industry
If you’re an integrator, manufacturer, or industry leader navigating the shifting demands of modern access control—this one’s for you.
The future belongs to the flexible.
Watch all three episodes in the series to get the full picture of where the access industry is heading, and how to stay ahead.
