How does iLOQ use NFC technology?

Near-field communication (NFC) is a short-range wireless connectivity technology that uses magnetic field induction to allow two NFC compatible devices to communicate when they’re brought close to each other. It is commonly used in contactless payment devices, for example.

iLOQ locks generate the energy they need for unlocking via NFC from a phone held next to them. It’s easy and, as no batteries are required, it’s also a cost-effective, maintenance-free and environmentally friendly solution.
