Amazon One Enters Enterprise Physical Access Control
With Apple now firmly entered into physical access control, the hope or fear of the next tech giant is here, with Amazon formerly announcing its entrance into "enterprise" physical access control.
But how much of an impact will Amazon have within physical access control?
In this report, we explain why the most likely outcome for Amazon, at least for the 2020s, is for Amazon to be a niche provider in physical access control, not a significant threat to incumbents such as HID and Wavelynx, but a possible stronger one to facial recognition providers such as Alcatraz, Safr, and Suprema.
