NFC-enabled smartphones have a powerful role to play in mobile access control, secure identification and door security, as HID Global has demonstrated with two recently completed pilot programs, in which employees were able to conveniently open doors with their mobile devices – without compromising physical enterprise security.
The pilot programs were conducted at the headquarters of Netflix, the world’s leading internet subscription service for TV series and films, and Good Technology, the leader in secure enterprise mobility solutions. The technology used included HID Global’s iCLASS SE platform, incorporating iCLASS Seos credentials that are portable for use on NFC-enabled smartphones.
ASSA ABLOY Seos is the world’s first commercial ecosystem for issuing, delivering and revoking digital keys on mobile phones with NFC technology. With Seos, mobile phones can replace mechanical keys and access cards and open doors to homes, hotels, offices, hospitals, universities, industries and commercial buildings.
Pilot program participants said improved security was one of the many benefits of using smartphones to open doors.
