Advancements in mobile technology are transforming access control systems in the security industry. Major players like Samsung and Apple are integrating wallet technologies, contributing to the significant growth of the mobile credentialing sector. Geoffrey Kohl, Senior Director of Marketing at the Security Industry Association, discussed the importance of university campuses in testing these new technologies during a recent Experts Talk episode.
Kohl highlighted that rapidly changing student populations on university campuses provide an ideal environment for testing innovative technologies. He also emphasized the significance of events like ISC West, where industry leaders and innovators come together to showcase and discuss transformative technologies such as advancements in mobile technology.
University campuses have been among the first to adopt these mobile technologies due to their turnover of students every few years. This turnover provides an excellent opportunity to test and refine new technologies in a real-world setting, making university campuses a valuable testbed for these advancements in mobile technology.
