Key takeaways
Digital wallet integration is reshaping campus security.
Universities are becoming testing grounds for advanced access control systems.
Mobile technology advancements ensure more secure university environments.
With the integration of wallet technologies by major players like Samsung and Apple, the mobile credentialing sector within the security industry is witnessing remarkable growth. Advancements in mobile technology are transforming access control by enabling more sophisticated and user-friendly solutions.
At a recent Experts Talk episode, Geoffrey Kohl, Senior Director of Marketing at the Security Industry Association, highlighted how university campuses have become pivotal in testing these technologies due to their rapidly changing student populations. Kohl also emphasized the significance of events like ISC West, where industry leaders and innovators convene to showcase and discuss transformative technologies like advancements in mobile technology.
What's interesting is, I saw that first start to come into the market, particularly from end users at university campuses. So they have a sort of a unique situation in that their customer clientele, the students, are turning over every few years, right? And so that can be one of the best test beds for a technology like that.
