ABOUT

1AHEAD Technologies

1AHEAD Technologies is a security innovation company led by Ron Carter, the inventor of the original wireless video doorbell, now used by brands like RING™, ADT, Vivint, and others. As a member of the Forbes Technology Council, Ron is once again redefining the future of security.

1AHEAD's current transformation replaces outdated alarm systems with proactive, AI-driven protection. By combining artificial intelligence, computer vision, robotics, and machine learning, we’ve developed a revolutionary architecture that creates quantum-safe, device-independent access tokens, a major leap beyond traditional keys, cards, PINs, and biometrics. Our technology delivers access control that can’t be cloned, spoofed, or stolen.

GLO: The Global Logistics Optimizer

1AHEAD Technologies is redefining secure logistics and intelligent access through GLO, the world’s first AI-powered entry management ecosystem that merges advanced security, smart logistics, and autonomous mobility.

At the heart of GLO is VALT, our patented software engine that unites AI, robotics, NLP, and virtual key management into a single adaptive platform.

E-Commerce & Last-Mile Delivery – Secures and streamlines deliveries through AI-driven authentication, robotic coordination, and NLP-enabled logistics intelligence for real-time communication, verification, and routing.
Mobile Access Control – Transforms any smartphone or device into a Networkable Key (NFK) — a first-generation mobile credential that enables trusted, frictionless access without cards, passwords, or physical keys.
Fintech, Property & Security – Extends the same unified security model to financial, personal, and enterprise environments, replacing outdated credentials with NFK-based identity authentication.

1AHEAD’s ecosystem connects people, property, and commerce through secure, AI-driven access and logistics intelligence, powering the next generation of digital infrastructure.

A Generational Leap

For centuries, access control has evolved slowly, incorporating technologies such as metal keys, RFID cards, PINs, and biometrics. Each improved convenience, but left systems vulnerable to cloning, spoofing, and theft. 1AHEAD’s discovery that encrypted digital images can serve as secure, non-replicable authentication keys marks a generational leap, comparable to the difference between an iPhone and a rotary phone.

This paradigm shift extends beyond residential security. With patents spanning fintech, e-commerce, robotics, and enterprise identity, 1AHEAD is building a platform that redefines trust in both the digital and physical world.
