ISONAS Expands Patent Protection Within Pure IP Access Control

In August 2010 ISONAS was issued a patent pivotal to the fast growing and emerging market of IP access control.  Patent 7,775,429 covers aspects relating to one or more of the following features: 1. The ability for a reader/controller to make decisions “locally” at the edge, while still having the ability to program permissions for all access points “centrally”.   This allows the completely panel-less access control system to continue working when the network is down, and it allows a large number of readers to have their permissions determined by rules set up centrally, often by Microsoft Active Directory.  2. Powering the reader, electric strike and other devices at the door via Power over Ethernet.   PoE dramatically reduced cost and complexity of installation because no additional electricity is required at the access point. 3. Managing system configuration via a web interface.   Decentralizing credential management, and creating lock-down scripts accessible to more than just a system administrator requires access via the internet.  We are proud to announce that ISONAS was issued patent #8,662,386 in early March 2014 that significantly expands the reach of our patented Pure IP solution.  ISONAS is the leader and innovator in Pure IP access control.  Visit our website at www.ISONAS.com to learn more about how your organization can be part of the proven revolution.
