The Future of Smart Access with Anthony Chow
In this episode of BluOcean Talks, Ron sits down with Anthony Chow, Co-Founder and Ceo of igloo, to discuss the evolution of smart locks, access control software, and what it takes to build a world without keys. Anthony’s journey began with a common challenge he and other Airbnb hosts faced: managing physical key handovers for rental properties. When Singapore’s short-term rental rules changed, Anthony and his partners pivoted from solving a hosting pain point to building igloo into a broader smart access company. Today, igloo provides smart locks, IoT access devices, and enterprise access control software for homes, rental properties, property managers, and large-scale operators. The conversation also explores algoPIN™, igloo’s proprietary offline PIN technology and iglooconnect, its platform for connected services and third-party integrations. igloo has even taken its smart locks up to space! Listen to the episode to hear how a company built around smart access control ended up unlocking a story that’s literally out of this world. Learn more about igloo at https://www.igloohome.co/
