Mobile Credentials Are a Journey, Not a Jump

Mobile credentials are being increasingly adopted in physical security, but the transition requires careful planning rather than an abrupt switch. System integrators must navigate client readiness, legacy infrastructure, and evolving technologies like AI and machine learning. The shift is best approached as a phased journey that balances innovation with operational continuity.

As the physical security landscape continues to evolve, system integrators find themselves at the intersection of rapid technological innovation and ever-growing client demands. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are no longer distant concepts—they’re becoming standard components of modern security solutions, from predictive threat detection to real-time analytics. At the same time, the growing adoption of mobile credentials is reshaping how organizations think about access control, ushering in a new era of convenience, flexibility, and security. But amid all this change, one constant remains: the critical role that integrators play in tying these technologies together into cohesive, reliable systems. Supporting these professionals requires more than just great products—it demands collaboration, education, and a deep understanding of emerging needs. That’s where networks like PSA come in, serving as a hub of resources, innovation, and strategic guidance for integrators navigating this shifting terrain.

For a deeper dive into these challenges and opportunities including how mobile credentials are becoming a key focus area for enterprise clients, don’t miss the latest episode of AMAG Asks Experts: Integrator Community. Host Kyle Gordon speaks with Matt Barnette, CEO and President of PSA Network, about how PSA is helping integrators thrive in an increasingly complex world.

An Antarctic climber’s worst-day approach to Amphenol cable

An Antarctic climber’s worst-day approach to Amphenol cable

Raskesh Thakare, director of product engineering at Amphenol Times Fiber Communications, climbed Vinson Massif in Antarctica and draws parallels between mountaineering discipline and broadband cable design and testing. On the Wavelengths podcast he describes running prototypes across temperatures and scenarios, while Remee rates generic PVC jacket to -15C and Sea Wire advises avoiding PVC below -40C unless specially formulated.

  • 01Remee rates generic PVC cable jacket for -15C to 70C; Sea Wire puts plasticized PVC's floor at -40C and warns of embrittlement below it.
  • 02ASTM D746 sets a material's brittleness temperature where half the specimens break, the cold side of the qualification an outside-plant jacket must pass.
  • 03ICEA's current outside-plant fiber standard, S-87-640-2023, dates to May 2023; Corning's September 2017 cable spec cites the 2006 edition alongside Telcordia GR-20-CORE.

Snowflake’s AI Bots inherit each employee’s data permissions

Snowflake’s AI Bots inherit each employee’s data permissions

Snowflake says its Bots, which sit on top of CoCo, its coding agent for data teams, and CoWork, a personal work agent, act under the permissions of the person they work for. If that holds, existing role grants decide what the agents can reach. Shared business definitions matter too. A companion announcement covers an ontology that, according to dentsu's Joe Tobey, gives each definition an owner.

  • 01An agent that inherits a user's exact permissions is only as well-scoped as that user's last access review: access a person holds but never uses becomes access a background Bot can use on every run.
