The ground-breaking technology enables you to use your phone to open doors, without having to install batteries or cables to locks. Iloq NFC is setting a brand new standard for the smart lock industry.

There are numerous benefits to mobile smart locks: creating, sharing and revoking access while using your phone as a key. They are how the homes, offices and warehouses of the future will be physically secured. However, currently every other smart lock on the market needs to be powered by batteries or a cable power supply.

“With traditional smart locks, costly regular battery renewal processes or expensive wiring is needed to get the locks powered and connected. These costs really start to matter the more the locks you have,” said Iloq CEO and founder Mika Pukari.

“Our innovation brings a huge change in the smart lock market. It makes smart locking the best solution where there is a need for high security and real-time access management of locks and users.”

The Iloq NFC is so small it fits almost any kind of lock cylinders, padlocks or cabinet locks. This makes the Iloq NFC 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.

With Iloq NFC users can now always find their keys and have real-time access management.  Iloq NFC smart locks harvest electricity from the user's phone via induction through NFC; so that it not only works as the key, but also the power source for the lock. The technology is patented, ready and fully functional.

Iloq has long been a pioneer in self-powered smart locks, having introduced in 2007 the world’s first lock that was powered by harvesting electricity from key insertion.

“Now we have combined our expertise in minimum energy smart locks and the smart phone’s ability to give energy through the NFC induction. Opening the lock works by touching the door knob with a phone that has an access right to it” said Mika Pukari.
