Our firm moved to a new office which is located on the 25th floor of a contemporary business building in Tel-Aviv, providing a stunning view of the city’s skyline. The space features a range of amenities to ensure comfort and productivity, but the thing that we love most about the new office premises are the doors. The doors are connected to an IoT device that uses a Bluetooth protocol. A mobile application with a user-friendly interface allows employees to authenticate and control the doors. The application allows residents of the building to open and lock the door from their phones. The system piqued our cu
