Simplicity Echo

No keys. No batteries. No maintenance.

The most eco-friendly and sustainable lock of this generation.

Using NFC technology, Simplicity Echo harnesses a tiny amount of energy from your mobile phone to gain access to your lock. Echo delivers a hassle-free user experience while reducing energy consumption and any environmental impact by eliminating the need for traditional power sources.

    Battery free – No wires, batteries, or mains power required. Simplicity Echo uses Near Field Communication (NFC) technology to capture a tiny amount of power from your mobile phone to open and close your locker.

    Environmental – Simplicity Echo has revolutionised lock sustainability. With no internal battery, Echo reduces e-waste, lowers energy consumption, and eliminates battery maintenance, extending the life of your lockers.

    NFC technology – NFC is used to make contactless payments with your bank card. Echo uses this same technology to transfer a secure token from your mobile device to the lock, providing you with secure access. Once the “transaction” is complete, the token is deactivated and can’t be reused.

    Security – Simplicity Echo uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to protect your access – the same technology that governments use to ensure the highest levels of encryption for their confidential documents. The contents of your locker couldn’t be any safer.

    User friendly – All you need is your mobile phone and the Echo app. No need for keys, passwords, pins, or anything else – just a couple of taps and you’re in.

     

    Functionality

    Decide how you want Simplicity Echo to work for you with its three operating modes:

    Public mode – Lockers are available for use by anyone. Simply request access by scanning a QR code, download the Echo app, and register. Admin approval is not required, but access and usage can be monitored through the app or web portal.

    Private mode – Users are granted exclusive access to the lockers by the storage provider. The Echo app can be used to securely access the assigned locker while admin can manage access and monitor usage through the app or web portal.

    Registered public mode – Lockers are available for use by anyone who is pre-approved/registered to use them. Users need to download the Echo app when sent an invitation from the storage provider, and they can then access the lockers within that location using their mobile phone. Admin can send out email invites to pre-approved users and monitor locker availability.

    NFC technology

    The lock harvests a tiny amount of energy from your smartphone using NFC technology. Even if your mobile had 1% battery life remaining, that would still be plenty to open and close a Simplicity Echo lock with ease.

    NFC is a short-range wireless technology that lets you securely pass data from one device to another. It’s the same technology used to make contactless payments with your bank card or smartphone, so it’s super secure.
