This Is Why Smartphones Will Replace Keys and Access Badges

By Christian Rappel
Mobile Access Business Development, dormakaba Group

Since the first prototype of a smartphone came alive in the 1990s, their rise has been unstoppable. Fast forward to 2019, 81 percent of the population in the US own smartphones, and the global smartphone ownership keeps skyrocketing. The public uses these devices for nearly every digital interaction imaginable—from messaging apps and social media to video streaming and online shopping. Companies are also beginning to recognize the smartphone's potential for mobile access control.
