Mobile access control: How smartphones replace traditional keys
The end of the keyring era
Physical keys have long been the standard for securing buildings, rooms, and assets. But in today’s digital world, they’re quickly becoming outdated. Mobile access control is revolutionising how organisations manage entry—replacing traditional keys with smartphones and smart apps.
What is mobile access control?
Mobile access control allows users to unlock doors and manage access rights via their smartphones. Instead of carrying a bunch of keys or access cards, users simply tap their phone or use an app to gain entry. This technology is secure, flexible, and ideal for modern organisations.
