Global mobile telecom company Ericsson is set to run a six month pilot project wherein staff, researchers and students are set to be able to access the Electrum facilities at the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT ICT) Labs in Stockholm using their mobile phones with built-in NFC functionality.

Starting June 2012, EIT ICT Labs staff, researchers and students are set to be able to access the Electrum facilities using an NFC based access control system developed by Swedish startup company Telcred. They are set to have access to entrance doors as well as to meeting rooms and video conferencing facilities.

The access control system works with contactless smart cards and NFC phones and uses the Ericsson cloud-based Trusted Service Manager (TSM).
