Sensor Access MobileKey App Arrives on iOS, bringing Seamless NFC Access

Our MobileKey App is a free pure NFC phone key designed for Android and iOS devices, for use with compatible Sensor Access Readers and GuardPoint10 Access Control System.

With MobileKey a virtual access card is stored directly on the user’s smartphone allowing activation of readers through the phone’s internal near field communication (NFC) technology. Each phone has its unique key code. When enrolled on to the access control system, Mobile key can be used just like a standard proximity tag.

Mobile Key is an independent solution that uses standard contactless protocols. The App uses fast, reliable NFC technology to deliver a smooth and secure solution without Bluetooth. MobileKey is fully integrated into all Sensor Access DF Series readers, ensuring seamless compatibility and performance. DF Readers use a Wiegand protocol that is compatible with most access control systems.

The Senor Access MobileKey App represents a significant evolution in access control technology, providing a range of benefits over traditional access cards in terms of cost, sustainability, efficiency and user experience. Virtual credentials are ideal for large, or fast-growing organizations, or for applications that see high numbers of non-permanent users such as contractors, temporary staff, or visitors.

Enhanced Operational efficiency: virtual cards can be issued instantly as required, removing the need to store, print and distribute physical access cards.

Reduced costs: MobileKey can be downloaded for free from the App store, with no subscription or renewal required, eliminating the need to produce, print, and replace physical access cards.

Increased Sustainability: MobileKey supports environmental and sustainability initiatives by enabling organizations to phase out plastic access cards that are difficult to recycle and often end up in landfill.

Streamlined user experience: With MobileKey, virtual access credentials can be sent remotely eliminating the need for visitors to collect access cards in person. Users are less likely to forget their phone compared to a physical card.

Two factor security: smartphones are protected by the device’s passwords or biometrics, ensuring that the digital key remains secure and accessible only to authorised users.

MobileKey is now available for iPhone users based in the European economic area. MobileKey can be downloaded for free from the APP Store or Google Play Store.
