1. An access device for a wireless access control system for a door, the wireless access control system comprising a lock assembly carried by the door remote from the access device and comprising a lock, lock wireless communications circuitry, and a lock controller coupled to the lock and the lock wireless communications circuitry, the access device being remote from the door and comprising:

  • an accelerometer configured to sense an acceleration of the access device;

    remote access wireless communications circuitry configured to communicate directly with the lock wireless communications circuitry;

    a geographical positioning system configured to generate geographical location data corresponding to a geographical location of the access device; and

    a remote access controller configured to cooperate with said remote access wireless communications circuitry and said geographical positioning system toreceive a lock signal from the lock controller when the access device is within a threshold distance from the lock assembly, andwirelessly transmit, based upon receipt of the lock signal, a command comprising the geographical location data to switch the lock between the locked and unlocked positions based upon the sensed acceleration from said accelerometer and the geographical location data.
