Genetec, a leading provider of unified IP security solutions, recently announced it plans to support the ASSA ABLOY® Aperio wireless lock technology in its Synergis IP-based access control solution. With an expected general availability in calendar Q2 2014, this integration will allow the Synergis Master Controller (SMC)—the intelligent IP door controller of the Synergis solution—to manage Aperio-enabled locking hardware, offering customers wireless lock capabilities within any networked access control deployment.
Aperio is a global wireless technology that provides an easy, affordable way to connect openings from doors to cabinets, within a new or an existing Synergis access control system via wireless communication (IEEE 802.15.4). The Genetec SMC will communicate directly with the Aperio wireless hubs, which in turn will support several Aperio-enabled wireless locks. A single SMC will communicate with and manage dozens of wireless locks in real-time, while also offering the ability to log tens of thousands of lock events when needed.
