HID Global, a leading manufacturer in the access control industry, announced that its Edge Solo received the Product Achievement Award for IP Devices, Products and Software at the Security Industry Association's (SIA) 2007 New Product Showcase (NPS) held in Las Vegas in conjunction with ISC West. Selected from a field of 17 products in the IP Devices, Products and Software category, Edge Solo was recognised by the industry's premier marketing and awards program for its innovation in product design.
Edge Solo is HID Global's new cost-effective, stand-alone, single-door IP-based access control solution. Its innovative product design is unique in the market for a number of reasons. Standing apart from other stand-alone readers on the market, the product allows users to retain their initial investment value over time, or as security requirements increase, with its web browser-enabled convertibility from a stand-alone to a host-based system reader. Edge Solo has a user-friendly, instructional web environment, designed and focus-group tested for use in the "real world", allowing cardholder information, schedules and card assignment management through its intuitive user interface.
