As more and more students are using smartphones, mobile credentialing is becoming the preferred way for students to access campus resources. It is a convenient, secure, and efficient way for students to get around campus. This has opened the door to increased consideration of mobile credentials in access control applications.

Mobile access is not only more convenient and efficient, but it also uses data-based insights that help secure and optimize facilities. With these innovative features, mobile access helps drive adoption of resources designed to attract, retain, and engage higher education students, support lean operations, and contribute to sustainability objectives.

Finding a solution that helps support future-proof access control solutions while ensuring a healthy environment for campuses is crucial. Convergint partners with HID Global to deploy comprehensive, personalized safety and security strategies to protect students, faculty, and facilities.
