Increasingly, the access control space has been changing in both structure and market. Today, virtually every size business recognizes that to improve security they need to control access inside and out, meaning personnel, customers and/or visitors, etc.

This has driven the largest market segment in the U.S. today, small and medium-size businesses (SMB), to seek a more affordable, easily deployed access solution. Here, classic enterprise access systems often just prove overkill and over-budget.

Those historically required large customer investments in hardware, hub systems and laborious networked wiring by highly trained integrators, as well as dedicated security staff on-premise to administer them.

The ideal fit for SMB, and for savvy dealers seeking to serve the large untapped market, is access control as a service (ACaaS), where hosted systems preempt clients’ hardware investment and their system’s hands-on management.

Evolving this a step further, Napco Security Technologies developed its right-sized ACaaS system, the all-new AirAccess, but made it cellular-based and truly plug and-play.

Now the client has a system that solves their growing needs for enhanced security and constant mobile connectivity, and the dealer has the easiest, fastest-ever hosted advanced access system to install. And that’s minus any involvement with firewalls, IT department, networking, ISPs, etc.

Super-attractive too, AirAccess dealers can earn up to twice the RMR for each SMB account they can quickly add, offering either or both hosted access control and real-time alarm monitoring, at a revolutionarily, unbeatable flat rate.

AirAccess teams Napco’s access knowhow with its most popular security technologies. That includes the leading cellular communications of StarLink alarm radios and the top wireless access control capability of its Alarm Lock division’s Trilogy Networx wireless access control PIN/ prox locks, or NetPanel, used with HID readers for a truly scalable, revolutionarily easy-to-use, self-configurable access solution.

Conveniently available to locksmiths and dealers in security distribution, AirAccess comes in Money-Saving Starter Kits for lowest TCO, each with cellular communicator, multidoor gateway, SmartApp with credentials and event notifications, plus self-configuring Cloud-based software — “Just add doors.”
