Description of competitive advantages

The NFCKEY project is the first device on the market that can be opened with a phone on both mobile platforms without restrictions - Android and iOS. The technology was developed by a team from scratch and is similar in operation to payment systems. The main feature is a security algorithm that allows both the lock and the phone to work without internet on both OS. In addition, an important difference is the availability of additional functionality for different target audiences, which makes the device universal and can be used in different industries at the same time. Also, the size of the device plays an important role: the smart device from NFCKEY is 2-3 times smaller on average in comparison with competitors’ devices.
