1. A system, comprising:
- a hardware processor; and
a memory device, the memory device storing instructions, the instructions when executed causing the hardware processor to perform operations, the operations comprising;
receiving an access notification associated with a router, the access notification identifying a wireless device requesting wireless access to a wireless network;
determining a destination associated with the wireless device;
querying an electronic database for the destination associated with the wireless device, the electronic database electronically associating network waypoints to destinations including the destination associated with the wireless device;
identifying the network waypoints in the electronic database that are electronically associated with the destination associated with the wireless device; and
generating an electronic entry instruction in response to the wireless network matching any of the network waypoints identified in the electronic database;
wherein the electronic entry instruction permits physical access toward the destination associated with the wireless device.

Abstract
Physical access to secure areas is automatically performed based on presence or detection of a wireless device. When a wireless cellular device is detected by a network serving a secure building, a unique identifier of the wireless cellular device is obtained. The identifier of the wireless cellular device may be compared to electronic calendars. If a matching calendar entry is determined, then the wireless cellular device is calendared to meet an employee or tenant inside the building. Physical access may thus be automatically granted, based on possession of a recognized cellular device.
