Why mobile access is the future of secure entry
In today’s digital-first world, businesses are moving away from physical keys and outdated access cards. Mobile access control offers a smarter, more secure way to manage entry—using smartphones to unlock doors, manage permissions, and monitor activity in real time. But with convenience comes responsibility: ensuring your mobile access system is secure is essential to protecting your business from unauthorised access.
Explore mobile access for a smarter and secure future.
What is mobile access control?
Mobile access control allows users to unlock doors and manage access rights via their smartphones. Instead of carrying keys or cards, users tap their phone or use an app to gain entry. This technology is ideal for offices, residential buildings, and critical infrastructure.

Key security features of mobile access
Encrypted digital keys
Mobile keys use advanced encryption protocols (e.g. AES-256) to ensure secure communication between the device and the lock. Unlike physical keys, they cannot be copied or lost.
Real-time access management
Administrators can grant, revoke, or modify access rights instantly via a cloud-based dashboard. This ensures only authorised users can enter specific areas—especially useful for contractors or temporary staff.
Audit trails and monitoring
Every access event is logged, providing full traceability. This helps identify suspicious activity and supports compliance with security policies.
Battery-free operation
iLOQ’s mobile access systems are powered by the smartphone itself, eliminating the need for batteries or wiring. This reduces maintenance and environmental impact.
