Abloy launches wireless version of Smartair access

13 Jul 10

It offers real-time audit trails, remote door opening and automatic updates of access privileges.

The system, which is powered with wireless bi-directional technology, uses encrypted radio frequency communications to transfer information to and from electronic wireless door locks to a computer. The access plan and timetable controls of the systems’ users have also been designed so that they can be changed to avoid any unnecessary accesses, or if any lost or stolen credentials can be automatically disabled or deleted, the company said.

Each hub is built so that it can communicate wirelessly with up to 30 locks from a 30-metre distance and any number of hubs can be used, Abloy said.

Marketing manager, Tiffany Cook, said: “Smartair Wireless provides the market with an advanced access solution that benefits both building managers and end-users.

“Maintenance staff don’t have to walk door by door to update the access plans or collect the audit trial, whilst users are no longer forced to use an online updating point to reprogram their accesses, collect their credentials or extend their validity periods.

“Smartair Wireless offers convenience and real flexibility in access control, and easily adapts to all kinds of new-build and retrofit installations, from education and healthcare to banks and airports.”

The system includes a range of product for different types of doors, including Smartair Wireless for panic exit devices, glass door solutions, wireless wall readers, electronic cabinet locks and an independent reader and handle design model.
