COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM PROVIDING REMOTE ACCESS VIA MOBILE WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE AND RELATED METHODS
First Claim
1. A mobile wireless communications device including:
- a first wireless transceiver;
a second wireless transceiver having a longer communication range than the first wireless transceiver; and
a controller coupled with the first wireless transceiver and the second wireless transceiver and capable oftransmitting, via the first wireless transceiver, an access request to an access control device associated with an access position, and receiving a first identifier from the access control device based upon the access request,transmitting, via the second wireless transceiver, an authentication request to an authentication server based upon the first identifier and a second identifier associated with the mobile wireless communications device, and receiving an authentication response based upon the authentication request, andtransmitting, via the first wireless transceiver, the authentication response to the access control device.

Abstract
A mobile wireless communications device may include a first wireless transceiver, a second wireless transceiver having a longer communication range than the first wireless transceiver, and a controller coupled with the first wireless transceiver and the second wireless transceiver. The controller may be capable of transmitting, via the first wireless transceiver, an access request to an access control device associated with an access position, and receive a first identifier from the access control device based upon the access request. The controller may be further capable of transmitting, via the second wireless transceiver, an authentication request to an authentication server based upon the first identifier and a second identifier associated with the mobile wireless communications device, and receive an authentication response based upon the authentication request. The controller may also be capable of transmitting, via the first wireless transceiver, the authentication response to the access control device.
