The benefits of mobile-based access control

As the world becomes increasingly digital, traditional methods of access control are being replaced by more advanced solutions, such as mobile-based access control.

Technology disruptor, iLOQ, provides mobile-based access control solutions that involve the use of a smartphone as a user’s credentials. It makes physical keys, key fobs and any kind of key card redundant.

The features and functionality of mobile technology are equally beneficial to organizations and end users.

Mobile technology is secure and cost-effective for organizations

• Administration is quick and easy. Access rights are sent remotely and in real time to iLOQ’s app running on a user’s smartphone.
• Updating access rights is simple. With a few clicks, they can be updated and cancelled as needs change.
• Temporary and time-limited access rights can be granted, for example, for 3rd-party contractors offering more control and improved security.
• There are none of the security risks and costs involved with lost, stolen or unreturned physical keys.
• The environmental impact of people driving between administration offices and properties/sites to collect and return keys is eliminated.
• Access logs help to prevent or solve instances of misuse.

Mobile technology is easier for end users

• There’s no need to carry around big bunches of physical keys. There’s no need for a key at all: access rights are sent to an app running on the user’s smartphone.
• Access rights can be quickly and easily updated and sent to the smartphone as needs change.
• There’s no need to worry that a physical key has been lost or stolen. All access rights are stored in iLOQ’s app on the smartphone.
• There’s no need to waste time and money driving around to collect and return keys. Up-to-date access rights are sent remotely to iLOQ’s app running on the smartphone.

R&D is a key element in iLOQ’s organization. Every year, 6% of the turnover is invested into R&D to ensure they continue to solve security challenges smartly, sustainably and cost effectively.
