Today’s students demand mobility in every aspect of their lives, including identification. Etugate recognizes this trend, offering a mobile-enabled ecosystem that seamlessly integrates with existing infrastructure - from front doors to canteens and printers. This approach ensures inclusivity for students who prefer traditional methods alongside those embracing full digitalization.

The upcoming academic year shows immediate interest from various schools launching even a mobile-only model. This trial will evaluate the feasibility of such a transition in what is often considered a conservative industry. Thousands of students are already unlocking doors with their phones daily, signalling a promising shift towards more mobile-centric solutions.

The Future of Campus Access
Looking ahead, Etugate remains at the forefront of innovation, exploring questions such as whether the future will be mobile-first, mobile-optional, or entirely app-driven. While the ultimate direction remains uncertain, one thing is clear: the days of “mobile-zero” are behind us. Both NFC- and BLE-enabled app experiences and wallet-based solutions hold unique value, suggesting they may coexist as part of a parallel ecosystem.

Etugate is also actively seeking new partnerships to expand its presence into additional markets. By collaborating with forward-thinking partners, the company aims to further enhance its solutions and drive innovation across the educational sector.
Etugate’s partnership with LEGIC exemplifies the potential of technology to enhance education, paving the way for smarter, safer, and more connected campuses worldwide.
