Phone is the key, the power source and the gateway to real-time access management
iLOQ NFC smart lock harvests electricity from the phones NFC induction. Smartphone works not only as a key but also as a power source for the lock. The invention is based on iLOQ’s profound experience in self-powered smart locks. In 2007 iLOQ introduced the world’s first smart lock that needs no batteries or cables because it powers itself by harvesting electricity from key insertion.
“Now we have combined our expertise in minimum energy smart locks and smartphone’s ability to give energy through the NFC induction. Opening the lock works by touching the door knob with a phone that has access rights to it.”
The iLOQ NFC is so small it fits almost any kind of lock cylinders, padlocks or cabinet locks. That is why the iLOQ NFC is easy to install by replacing the existing lock without extra installation work to the door. Real-time access right management is handled by the iLOQ Manager cloud-service.
The first iLOQ NFC products are available for customers in Q4/2016
The technology is patented, ready and fully functional. iLOQ is now looking for end customers and business partners for large-scale cooperation.
