Refinitiv Ushers in a New Era of Home Security with Smart Lock Innovation

New York, NY – October 26, 2023 – Refinitiv US LLC, a leading provider of financial markets data and infrastructure, today announced its foray into the rapidly growing smart home security market with the launch of its groundbreaking Home Access Lock. While traditionally known for powering global finance, Refinitiv is leveraging its expertise in data security, connectivity, and reliable infrastructure to bring peace of mind to homeowners across the nation. “We’ve spent decades building systems that protect trillions of dollars in financial assets,” explains a spokesperson for Refinitiv. “Applying that same level of rigor and technology to protect what matters most – your home and family – felt like a natural progression. We saw a real opportunity to deliver a smart lock that wasn’t just convenient, but genuinely secure and reliable.” Beyond Keypads and Apps: What Sets the Refinitiv Home Access Lock Apart? The smart lock market is already crowded, boasting a range of features from simple keypad entry to smartphone control. So, what does Refinitiv bring to the table? A whole lot, actually. The core of the Refinitiv Home Access Lock isn’t just about opening doors; it's about knowing who's coming and going, and being confident in the security of your home. Here’s a breakdown of the key features: Multi-Factor Authentication for Entry: Forget simple passcodes. Refinitiv's lock allows for customizable, multi-factor authentication. Think a unique PIN plus a biometric scan (fingerprint or facial recognition via the built-in camera) plus smartphone verification. It’s like Fort Knox for your front door. Real-Time Activity Monitoring & Alerts: The lock isn't just a device; it’s a data hub. It logs every access attempt, successful or not, and sends real-time alerts to your smartphone. You'll know instantly if someone tries to tamper with the lock, or if a child gets home from school on time. Tamper-Proof Design & Encrypted Communication: We’re talking military-grade encryption here. All communication between the lock, your smartphone, and the cloud is fully encrypted, preventing hackers from intercepting signals or gaining unauthorized access. The lock itself is built with hardened steel and tamper-resistant components. Remote Access & Control: Lock and unlock your door from anywhere in the world using the intuitive Refinitiv Home app. Grant temporary access to guests, delivery drivers, or service providers – and revoke it just as easily. No more hiding keys under the doormat! Seamless Integration with Smart Home Ecosystems: The Refinitiv Home Access Lock plays nicely with other smart home devices. Integrate it with your existing security system, lighting, and voice assistants (Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant) for a truly connected home. Advanced User Management: Add and manage multiple users with different access permissions. Set schedules for when certain users can access the lock, and create custom access profiles. Perfect for families, roommates, or rental properties. Data Analytics & Security Insights: Refinitiv’s background in data analysis shines through. The Home app provides detailed reports on lock activity, identifying potential security risks and offering personalized recommendations. Offline Functionality: What happens when the internet goes down? Unlike some smart locks, the Refinitiv lock continues to function using pre-programmed access codes and keys. Built on a Foundation of Trust: Refinitiv’s Expertise in Data Security “We know data security isn’t just a feature; it’s a necessity,” says the Refinitiv spokesperson. “That’s why we’ve built the Home Access Lock from the ground up with security as our top priority. We’ve applied the same rigorous security standards we use to protect financial institutions to this product.” Refinitiv’s commitment to security extends beyond the lock itself. The company has invested heavily in cloud infrastructure and data encryption to ensure that all user data is protected from unauthorized access. Beyond Convenience: Protecting What Matters Most The Refinitiv Home Access Lock isn't just about making your life more convenient; it's about giving you peace of mind knowing that your home and family are safe and secure. “We believe everyone deserves to feel safe in their own home,” says the spokesperson. “We’re proud to be able to leverage our expertise to deliver a smart lock that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of today’s security-conscious homeowners.” Availability & Pricing: The Refinitiv Home Access Lock is available for pre-order now at [website address - example] and will begin shipping in November.
