Allegion PLC, a leading global provider of security products and solutions, recently announced that the AD-201 compliant standalone electronic lock is available for United States Federal Agency buildings using PIV and PIV-I credentials. It features a FIPS 201-1 compliant multi-technology plus keypad reader (FMK) that reads both 13.56 MHz smart cards and 125 kHz proximity cards. The AD-201 is the first standalone integrated electronic lock to achieve FIPS 201-1 compliance. The innovative modular design of the AD-201 also makes it unique. Without taking the lock off the door, the AD-201 standalone lock can be upgraded to a networked solution in minutes.
The AD-201 is designed for applications such as barracks, IT closets, headquarters doors, security forces applications and Veterans Administration facilities that require access control but do not want the cost or complexity of a fully networked solution.
