The completely electronic-based locking system will be incorporated into the BlackBerry Bold (9900/9930) and Curve (9350/9360) by the way of the iClass digital technology. The iClass digital technology systems put in place in these BlackBerry smartphones will be compatible with a large installed base of iCLASS readers, which are being increasingly set-up in several facets of everyday business, like physical access systems in buildings, to student IDs, to applications that track time and attendance. This simply means, the age of possessing an access card just to make one's way inside, is practically in the twilight of its lifetime.
