Genetec™, provider of unified IP security solutions, plans to support the ASSA ABLOY Aperio wireless lock technology in its Synergis IP-based access control solution. Genetec Synergis incorporates several Aperio components including electronic cylinders and escutcheons, wireless locks for security doors, and the 1-to-8 Hub for controlling access to multiple doors, without the need for expensive cabling.

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.

“The goal with Aperio is always to enhance secure access at an affordable price,” says Chris Bone, Vice President Access Control EMEA at ASSA ABLOY. “This new partnership with Genetec sees our innovative wireless battery powered door locking technologies integrated into a market-leading access control system in Europe and in the US.”

Martin Huddart, President Access and Egress Hardware Group, ASSA ABLOY Americas, adds, “We are pleased to expand our already strong relationship with Genetec. The combination of Aperio-enabled locks with the Genetec Synergis platform will offer our customers worldwide a flexible solution that will allow them to expand their access control system to almost every opening in their facility.

Aperio is a global wireless technology that provides an easy, affordable way to connect openings from doors to cabinets, within a new or existing Synergis access control system via wireless communication (IEEE 802.15.4). The Genetec SMC will communicate directly with the Aperio wireless hubs, […]
