Vanderbilt University has earned many distinctions, includingPrinceton Review’s top ranking for colleges with the happiest students. The school’s latest endeavor is taking the plunge and going mobile with access control.
HID and the school recently tested smartphones to open doors at one or more of six possible campus entry points, including one parking garage. Entry points were equipped with mobile-enabled iCLASS SE readers that were configured to work with existing iCLASS smart cards as well as HID Global’s Mobile IDs. Mark Brown, Manager, Commodore Card Office at Vanderbilt University, explained the process.
