Business Wire
Allegion plc (NYSE: ALLE), a leading global security products
and solutions provider, announced today that Schlage® commercial
electronic locks now support contactless student IDs in Apple
Wallet – allowing students to open doors in residence halls and
other secure spaces with just their iPhone and Apple Watch.
Mercer University in Macon, Georgia, is the first school to
launch contactless student IDs in Apple Wallet using both Transact
Mobile Credentials and Allegion locks for a convenient and secure
campus experience.
“Best-in-class customer experience through great products and
connectivity will drive our future innovation,” said David D.
Petratis, chairman, president and CEO of Allegion. “Supporting
contactless student IDs through Apple Wallet is an opportunity to
leverage our historic strengths as a global security provider while
also driving seamless access and simplifying people flow.”
This new capability is specific to Schlage AD-300 and AD-400
electronic locks, which feature built-in credential readers and
access control sensors for simplified installation.
“We’ve seen the shift where people are becoming less dependent
on cards and more dependent on their mobile phones, and it’s no
surprise that college students are embracing this change,” said
Jeff Koziol, Allegion business development manager, campus software
partner. “Allegion is proud to support this digital and mobile
transformation in a way that improves security and the student
experience across campuses.”
To help enable contactless student IDs in Apple Wallet, Allegion
supports Transact Mobile Credentials.
David Marr, CEO of Transact, said, “To properly serve tech-savvy
students, we need to deliver solutions that meet their expectations
of a frictionless and elegant experience. Mobile is central to that
experience. Transact is excited to have the support of our partner
community, like that of Allegion, to enhance and expand a native
NFC mobile experience across campuses.”
In addition to adding convenience, contactless student IDs in
Apple Wallet provide added security. Universities can remotely
issue credentials over-the-air, and credentials are protected by
multi-factor authentication and can also be remotely deactivated by
the student or university.
Schlage AD-400 Series wireless locks were designed to reduce
installation costs on interior access-controlled doors, such as
student rooms, faculty offices, classrooms and lab spaces, while
offering the adaptability to support future evolutions in
technology. The AD-400 and AD-300 locks are available in
cylindrical, mortise, mortise deadbolt and exit trim chassis
options, and they integrate into popular electronic access control
systems.
