iLOQ’s Multifamily Smart Access Control System Extends its Global Reach
Helsinki, Finland -- iLOQ, a global leader in battery-free smart access systems, has launched its 5 Series+ locking system and access-management platform. iLOQ 5 Series+ is a mobile-first solution made for the growing multifamily residential market. The launch taps into a broader digitalization trend, moving away from mechanical locks and keys toward keyless access management. For residents, this means greater convenience, such as being able to share digital keys with family members, delivery providers, or service staff remotely, without needing to replace or duplicate physical keys.
The rollout of the new systems started in the United States and has now expanded to Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, with launches in other global markets expected over the remainder of 2025 and 2026.
“Access management should be about giving residents peace of mind and giving property managers tools that save time and reduce costs. Everyday life is increasingly managed through mobile devices, yet access to homes and shared spaces has lagged behind. With the 5 Series+, we’re aiming to bridge the convenience gap by providing digital-access tools that are as flexible as the mobile apps we use to bank, shop, and communicate,” explains Tomi Karjalainen, Chief Innovation Officer at iLOQ.
The launch comes at a time when property owners and facility managers are under increasing pressure to enhance building management and access systems, reduce operating costs, and meet residents’ rising demand for the convenience of mobile-first access services. Unlike mechanical locks or competing smart locks that depend on batteries and wiring, 5 Series+ operates without electricity or batteries. Access rights are managed entirely in the cloud and activated through a resident’s smartphone.
In addition to new, upgraded locks, 5 Series+ also comes with a significantly upgraded back-office access-management platform. The new platform is modular, meaning building managers can add the functionality they need, leaving out unnecessary features.
“iLOQ’s battery-free and keyless smart locks have been a game-changer in the industry. They are integral components of modern access, and we are delighted to see our solutions being rolled out around the world,” Karjalainen continues.
Adoption of mobile-based access systems is expected to continue, with the global mobile access control system market projected to expand from approximately USD 4.8 billion in 2024 to USD 15.5 billion by 2032.
