                 and unlocking of the respective door, the central access control system                                  
                 wirelessly transmitting access information to the plurality of remote access                             
                 control systems independent of any users associated with the access                                      
                 information making any requests for rights to unlock any of the doors, each                              
                 of the remote access control systems being configured to receive wirelessly                              
                 and store at least some of the access information from the central access                                
                 control system, each of the remote access control systems being configured
