BIRMINGHAM, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 27, 2026--

THE SECURITY EVENT (TSE) --SwiftConnect, the provider of the connected access network for places and spaces, today announced that JLL, a leading global commercial real estate services firm, has standardised on SwiftConnect's connected access network platform to deliver mobile wallet access across its corporate offices and the assets it manages, enabling employees and building occupiers to use mobile credentials in NFC wallets in place of physical badges .

The successful pilot at its 20 Water Street headquarters in London solved core challenges faced by JLL: managing disparate access control systems across its global corporate footprint and integrating its own access control with base building landlord systems, a common complexity in multi-tenanted buildings. The SwiftConnect platform unified JLL's different access control systems into a single pass stored in employees digital NFC wallet, using HID Signo™ readers and HID Seos ® credential technology, so that employees can access both base building entrances and JLL office spaces with one credential on their smartphone or wearable device.

As a result, the rollout kicked off a phased expansion at JLL’s new flagship UK headquarters and prompted JLL to use SwiftConnect’s connected access network to automate its global security approach around integrating multiple systems into a single digital access pass.

"JLL Spark recognised early on how fragmented the access control landscape was and how traditional access methods were ill-equipped to meet the growing need for frictionless, and on-demand office access, whether at a single location or a portfolio of buildings,” said Daniel Correa, Growth Principal at JLL Spark. “Our investment in SwiftConnect years ago was driven by this clear gap between how enterprises manage physical identity and access. Fast forward to today, our decision to deploy the company’s platform across JLL offices and managed assets is a natural expression of our confidence in what SwiftConnect delivers."

The SwiftConnect mobile access deployment delivers across three areas:

"JLL's decision to deploy our connected access network across their own portfolio is the kind of validation that speaks for itself,” said Chip Kruger, Co-CEO at SwiftConnect. “It reflects the growing momentum SwiftConnect is experiencing across the UK and European market for a truly unified approach to access, irrespective of the existing physical security infrastructure."

Moving ahead, SwiftConnect is also scaling mobile access deployments for JLL as asset manager for its property owner clients. JLL currently manages a number of other buildings where SwiftConnect has implemented mobile access, including an ongoing deployment to 10,000 users this year.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A Russian drone attack before dawn on Ukraine’s southern city of Odesa wounded 14 people, including two children, authorities said Monday, in the latest barrage of civilian areas that have been a hallmark of Moscow’s full-scale invasion, now in its fifth year.

The drones hit residential neighborhoods and civilian infrastructure, said the head of the city’s administration, Serhii Lysak. Russia has repeatedly targeted Odesa, a key Black Sea port for Ukraine.

Five of the injured, most of them with shrapnel wounds, were hospitalized, according to the head of the regional military administration, Oleh Kiper.

Meanwhile, a Ukrainian drone strike killed two people in the Russian-occupied part of Ukraine’s Kherson region, Moscow-installed Gov. Vladimir Saldo said Monday. A man and a woman in their 70s died in the village of Dnipriany, he said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Monday that over the past week Russia has fired approximately 1,900 attack drones, nearly 1,400 powerful guided aerial bombs and around 60 missiles of various types at Ukraine.

Ukraine’s wartime development of cutting-edge military technology means it is intercepting more than 90% of the drones that Russia launches, Zelenskyy claimed in a post on X. However, Ukraine needs more American-made Patriot air defense missiles that are able to shoot down Russia’s ballistic missiles.

Ukraine has recently been helping countries in the Middle East and Gulf region, which are countering attacks on their territory by Iranian drones, with know-how amid the Iran war.

Also, Norway is the latest European country to enter into a joint drone manufacturing agreement with Kyiv, Ukraine’s Defense Ministry said Monday.

Zelenskyy noted a recent raft of good news for Ukraine: NATO partners, excluding the United States, have contributed to a financial arrangement to buy American weapons, the European Union has approved a 90-billion-euro ($106-billion) loan to Ukraine, and the EU intends to place more sanctions on Moscow.

Meanwhile, Ukraine has been assailing oil terminals and refineries deep inside Russia with long-range drones and missiles, aiming to disrupt Moscow’s economy.

The Institute for the Study of War, a Washington-based think tank, said late Sunday it has seen geolocated evidence that Ukrainian forces conducted at least 10 strikes against Russian oil and gas infrastructure in the past two weeks.
