Access Control, Reimagined for the Cloud
Openpath, now part of Avigilon Alta, is a modern, cloud-native access control platform built around the smartphone. Users simply wave a hand near a reader to unlock — no badge to fumble, no app to open — while administrators manage doors, users and credentials remotely from any browser.
With built-in video, one-click lockdown, occupancy tracking and an open API, Openpath scales from a single office to a multi-site enterprise. As your local installer, Boston High Tech designs, deploys and supports the entire system.

Openpath / Avigilon Alta Hardware We Install
Smart Hubs, readers and video intercoms for mobile-first cloud access control — across MA, NY & NJ.
Single Door Controller
PoE-powered one-door controller that wall-mounts or fits a gang box — with reader ports, relays, REX and contact inputs, plus Wiegand inputs for legacy readers.
4 & 8-Door Smart Hubs
Core Series hubs combine the Access Control Core with 4 or 8-port expansion boards and power in one enclosure — each Core expands to 16 doors, and elevator hubs handle floor control.
Smart Readers
Standard, mullion and keypad smart readers with Wave-to-Unlock touchless entry — mobile credentials, key cards, fobs and PIN, with encrypted communication.
Video Intercom Reader Pro
Reader, camera and intercom in one — live video, two-way audio and smart call routing at the door, with touchless access.
Alta Access Platform & Integrations
Openpath is now Avigilon Alta Access (Motorola Solutions) — same mobile-first cloud platform, now unified with Alta cloud video so door events pair with camera footage automatically.
Identity integrations: user provisioning syncs from Okta, Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), Google Workspace and more — onboarding and offboarding handled automatically; an open API connects visitor, booking and workplace tools.
Reuse what you have: Smart Hubs and the Single Door Controller accept legacy Wiegand readers and standard electric locks, so takeovers usually keep existing wiring and hardware. Doors keep working offline thanks to local decision-making on the controller.
We are a certified Openpath/Avigilon Alta installer — design, installation, migration and support. Call 1-866-625-1977.
Openpath Access Control — Frequently Asked Questions
Is Openpath the same as Avigilon Alta?
Yes — Openpath was rebranded as Avigilon Alta Access. It is the same cloud-native platform, and we install and support it under both names.
How does Wave to Unlock work?
Users simply wave a hand near the reader; their enrolled phone unlocks the door over Bluetooth/UWB — no need to open an app or present a badge.
Can we still use cards and fobs?
Yes — Openpath supports high-security encrypted cards and fobs alongside mobile credentials, so users can choose.
Do we need an on-site server?
No — Openpath is fully cloud-managed. You administer everything from any browser, with automatic updates.
Does Openpath include video?
Yes — video readers and the Video Intercom Reader tie access events to live and recorded video, and it integrates with Avigilon cameras.

Certified Openpath Design, Installation and Support
Boston High Tech provides end-to-end Openpath services for commercial properties and organizations across Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey. We start with a site review and a clear discussion of users, operating requirements, existing systems, future growth and project constraints. Our team then develops a practical scope covering equipment, pathways, network needs, integration, testing and handoff.
What a complete project can include
- On-site assessment and review of existing infrastructure
- System design, equipment selection and written project scope
- Cabling, mounting, termination, configuration and integration
- Device-by-device testing, labeling and project documentation
- Administrator orientation, user training and support planning
Every proposal is tailored to the property. Reuse of existing wiring, readers, cameras, locks, network equipment or software is evaluated during discovery rather than assumed. Where another trade is required, we coordinate responsibilities with the client, general contractor, electrician, locksmith or IT team.
Our certified technology professionals support organizations across Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey from regional offices in Brighton, New York City and Skillman, with company headquarters in Charlotte. We keep private credential records, certificate numbers and individual certificate-holder information off the public website while maintaining the qualifications required for the work we perform.

Avigilon Alta naming
Openpath products and apps are now branded Avigilon Alta Access. Existing Openpath deployments remain an important service and migration category, but new proposals should use current Alta product names and verify current controller, reader, mobile-app and subscription compatibility.
Official Avigilon Alta Access support
Lifecycle review updated July 2026. Always confirm current regional availability and manufacturer support before procurement or upgrade work.
Official Avigilon Alta Access software, firmware and support
Use the manufacturer links below for current software, firmware, release notes, manuals and technical resources. Boston High Tech links directly to official manufacturer portals and does not copy or host firmware files.
Before installing an update: verify the exact model, region, hardware revision, current version, required intermediate releases, licensing or support entitlement, backup and rollback plan, integrations and maintenance window. An incorrect firmware package or upgrade sequence can interrupt service, invalidate compatibility or prevent a downgrade. Coordinate updates for monitored, life-safety-adjacent or business-critical systems with the system administrator and an authorized specialist.
Some resources require a customer, dealer, certified-technician or active-support login. Cloud-managed products may update automatically and may not provide a public firmware file.
