What does AWDL mean in UNCLASSIFIED

Automated Wireless Digital Locks (AWDL) are a type of access control system that uses wireless technology to grant access to a facility or room. AWDL systems typically use electronic keys or codes that allow the user to gain entrance into areas they have been granted permission to enter.

AWDL typically uses electronic keys or codes which are programmed with the permissions of the user. When the key or code is entered at the lock, it triggers a signal which unlocks the door and grants access. Once inside, users may be asked to confirm their identity before being allowed further entry within a particular area.

The biggest advantage of using AWDL is its convenience and security. With no physical key needed for entry, it helps eliminate potential theft or loss of keys and adds an extra layer of safety by limiting unauthorized entries into restricted areas. Additionally, set permissions on each electronic key allows only individuals with clearance to enter certain areas.

While AWDL can provide enhanced security and convenience over traditional locks, there are some downsides associated with this technology. It requires an initial setup fee for installation as well as ongoing maintenance costs due to necessary battery changes and updates from time-to-time in order for the system to remain secure and reliable over time. Additionally, if not properly programmed, an incorrect code can unlock multiple doors creating potential safety risks too.

Many modern automated wireless digital locks come equipped with features such as biometric scanners for advanced security measures like fingerprint recognition or facial recognition scanning; active sensors that detect motion or open windows; video surveillance capabilities; auto-locking functions; and more depending on the specific model you choose and your particular needs/desires for your property's security systems.
