The companies explain the integration offers end-users more options for expanding their physical security system easily and affordably using IP-enabled locks from ASSA ABLOY Group brands Corbin Russwin and SARGENT. The IP-enabled range includes Intelligent WiFi locks that connect to a host system through an existing 802.11b/g/n WiFi network. The range also includes IEEE 802.3af compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) locks that connect to the Local Area Network (LAN) utilizing a single Ethernet cable for both power and data.
ASSA ABLOY points out that IT and security teams can connect its IP-enabled WiFi locks to the Genea Access Control platform without running a single cable. According to the companies, whether it is equipping one door or 100, the cloud-based solution helps hospitals, schools, enterprises, and more connect their security, wirelessly. Administrators can sync doors to video, visitor, and identity management systems through out-of-the-box integrations.
Additionally, the companies note that users can add access groups, create door schedules, and monitor hardware statuses right from a user-friendly, global dashboard.
“The integration of Genea Access Control with our IP-enabled locks makes it even easier to leverage the capabilities of the Genea platform,” adds Angelo Faenza, head of U.S. digital access solutions, ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions Americas.
“The ability to bring access control to more doors quickly and efficiently allows facilities to increase security and convenience using an innovative access control management system.”
