iLOQ Oy, established in 2003 and based in Oulu, Finland, is a technology company specializing in self-powered digital locking and mobile access management solutions. The company's innovative products, such as the iLOQ S5 and iLOQ S50, utilize energy-harvesting technology, enabling electronic locking systems to operate without batteries or cables, thereby reducing maintenance costs and environmental impact. iLOQ's solutions cater to various sectors, including residential properties, public and commercial buildings, and critical infrastructure, offering enhanced security, flexibility, and convenience. With a strong focus on sustainability and technological advancement, iLOQ has expanded its operations across Europe, providing cutting-edge access management solutions to a growing international customer base.
Locks play an integral role in carrying out daily tasks in any business by controlling who can go where and at what time. Apps are also part of our daily lives, and our phones are full of them. Customers who use iLOQ S50 NFC locks and mobile access solutions enjoy the convenience of using the iLOQ S50 app. Wouldn’t it be convenient if accessing locks could be done with the same application that is used for other tasks?
At the end of 2020, iLOQ signed a long-term framework agreement to be one of the favored priority suppliers for access control for Cellnex’s network of telecom masts and datacenters. From the beginning of 2021, the deployment of iLOQ products has accelerated throughout Europe.
Market insights highlight that security solutions are more critical than ever in today’s business operations. In a bid to move away from the security risks and administrational challenges of traditional mechanical locking, companies are keen to implement new methods of access management.

According to The World Bank, in 2020 about 55% of the world’s population – 4.2 billion inhabitants – were living in cities. According to many sources, this trend will continue. By 2050, with the urban population expected to more than double its current size, it is predicted that nearly 7 out of 10 people in the world will live in cities. This rapid urbanization has caused a massive increase in the demand for affordable housing.
