Security Sales & Integration’s Top 30 Technology Innovations of 2015
Isonas has been at the forefront in IP access at-the-door solutions for a while, which makes sense when you have a greenfield or no access control in an existing structure. But what about dealing with legacy access control? Not so easy until now. The PowerNet IP Bridge allows clients to essentially unplug older panels, utilize existing readers and card populations and migrate to a single platform. This eliminates both the older panels and their backbone wiring as you shift to true IP network backbones. Being able to cost effectively leverage existing door hardware wiring and credential investments will help your customers “sell” improved security operations to their stingy management team. The ability to logically and practically convert door-by-door upgrades is suddenly not an overwhelming task with two- and three-door IP Bridge configurations, so the customer pays for what they need and not overcapacity. The product supports both PoE and PoE+ requirements at the door. The best part is the customer really has an “open” IP access platform for future growth. — Boucherle
