Background
We will be testing a keyless and battery-free locking system called iLOQ S50. This system uses Near Field Communcation (NFC) to unlock doors, the same technology used in mobile payment services such as Apple Pay. Unlike Bluetooth and WiFi, NFC only works over short distances, and you must hold your mobile phone close to a reader for it to work.

Will it work on my phone?
In order to use the keyless locks, you will need a smart phone compatible with NFC:
- iPhones with iOS 13 or newer versions installed (iPhone 7 or newer models)
- Android models with 6.0 Marshmallow
If you have a non-compatible phone, please contact the Security Operation Center to receive a key fob.
How do I get access
Students and employees who are registered as users of the rooms that get keyless locks, will receive a SMS with an activation code. This presupposes that we have registered your correct cell phone number.
- If you are a Master's student and have not received the activation code, plase contact the person administering your study room (see the overview).
- Others who have not received the activation code, is asked to please contact the Reception in Kristine Bonnevies hus.
