Cloud access control service brings dozens of smart access monetization opportunities

The headline update of Aipix Release 26.06 is Cloud Access Points module – a completely new approach to organizing, managing, and monetizing cloud access control service.

Instead of configuring each device separately, provider or admin now manage a single logical object: the Access Point. It combines all equipment responsible for a specific entrance or vehicle access zone into one centrally managed entity like gates, barriers, doors equipped with IP intercoms and turnstile with BLE controllers.

For property managers, this means simpler centralized administration and maintenance.

For end users, it delivers a seamless smart access experience.

And for telecom operators and ISPs, it creates the foundation for launching value-added services that generate predictable recurring revenue while increasing customer loyalty.

Cloud access points built for telecom service monetization

Cloud Access Points are much more than a technical improvement. It creates entirely new recurring revenue opportunities for telecom operators and internet service providers of providing cloud access control service.

Smart access becomes a subscription-based value-added service that customers use every day – and are willing to pay for month after month.

The result is:

• higher Average Revenue Per User (ARPU),
• stronger customer loyalty,
• reduced subscriber churn,
• new recurring revenue streams.

One of the main opportunities of cloud access control service update within release 26.06 is the flexibility it presents for provisioning and management. Since the Access Point can include different devices and configurations providers can prepare customizable scenarios to match the needs of B2B and B2C subscribers.

How access points work when providing cloud access control service

An Access Point represents a real-world entrance rather than the hardware installed there. Whether it’s a residential entrance, office lobby, parking gate, warehouse checkpoint or industrial facility, every device controlling access through that location becomes part of one unified object. Instead of managing hardware, administrators manage the entrance itself.

This dramatically simplifies deployment, user management, maintenance, and future expansion.

When creating an Access Point, the administrator simply selects its type. The platform automatically determines which devices can be connected and combines them into one integrated system.

Entrance zone – designed for pedestrian entrances.

Supports:

• 1 IP Intercom
• 1 BLE Controller

Vehicle entry zone – designed for parking entrances and gates.

Supports:

• 1 Actuator (gate, barrier, bollard, etc.)
• 1 BLE Controller

Specified zone – supports two devices selected from:

• IP Intercom
• BLE Controller
• Actuator

Universal zone – supports any number of:

• IP Intercoms
• BLE Controllers
• Actuators

This flexible architecture allows operators to build virtually any smart access scenario while maintaining centralized administration.

Residential use case: modern apartment entrance as an access control service

Imagine a residential building where residents no longer need physical keys or RFID tags. The administrator creates an Access Point called “Entrance 1.”

The Access Point combines:

• IP intercom
• BLE controller
• User permissions
• Access settings

Everything associated with that entrance is managed from one location. Residents simply approach the entrance with Bluetooth enabled on their smartphone. The controller recognizes the device, verifies permissions, and unlocks the door automatically.

Visitors can still call residents through the intercom, while homeowners can remotely open the entrance directly from the mobile application. No keys, magnetic tags, switching between different applications. Everything is available from one intuitive interface.

A new interfaces experience with cloud access point introduction

The introduction of Access Points also modernizes the Aipix platform. Due to the advent of the Access Point, we have abandoned separate sections in the administrator’s office – the Camera and the Intercom Tree – and moved all functions to a single section of the Platform Tree, where they logically fit into the structure of each location. By combining the tools in the location profile, we shortened the path to the desired setting and gave the administrator the opportunity to see and control the entire object.

For Administrators

The new Platform Tree provides a single management center for all key services across your facilities. Instead of searching through different sections, administrators can manage video surveillance cameras, intercoms, and keyless BLE access devices from one location profile. This unified structure saves time and provides a complete view of the entire facility with all management tools in one place.

For End Users

End users only need a smartphone with the mobile app. All access options are available in one place: they can open doors via the intercom, use BLE keys, and manage access through the new widget or Access section without switching between different app tabs.

Users can:

• Open doors through the intercom
• Use BLE mobile keys
• Manage Access Points
• View available entrances
• Access everything from one intuitive interface

We haven’t simply created a tool for working with existing equipment – we’ve laid the foundations that allow the platform to evolve alongside the needs of telecom subscribers.

The future of smart cloud access control service starts here

Cloud Access Points represent far more than a new platform feature – it establishes a new revenue opportunities for telecom operators and ISPs.

By shifting from device management to access management, operators can simplify deployments, deliver a superior user experience, and launch subscription-based smart access services for residential, commercial, and enterprise customers.

Whether securing apartment entrances, office buildings, parking facilities, warehouses, hotels, campuses, or industrial sites, every Access Point becomes another opportunity to generate recurring revenue, strengthen customer loyalty, and expand beyond connectivity into high-value digital services.
