NEW HAVEN, Conn.—ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions today announced the integration of its IP-enabled PoE (Power over Ethernet) and Intelligent WiFi access control locks with Genea Access Control, a leader in cloud-based access control software.
“Genea is excited to partner with ASSA ABLOY. By leveraging the power of Genea’s cloud-based access control with ASSA ABLOY’s wireless door locks, we can now provide our partners, IT, and security teams with a seamless and convenient way to control access to their facilities,” said Genea CEO Michael Wong. “Our powerful integration creates a comprehensive solution for modern building access management and is a significant step forward in our mission to revolutionize security.”
The integration offers end-users more options for expanding their physical security system easily and affordably using IP-enabled locks from ASSA ABLOY Group brands Corbin Russwin and SARGENT. The IP-enabled range includes Intelligent WiFi locks that connect to a host system through an existing 802.11b/g/n WiFi network. The range also includes IEEE 802.3af compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) locks that connect to the Local Area Network (LAN) utilizing a single Ethernet cable for both power and data.
IT and security teams can connect their ASSA ABLOY IP-enabled WiFi locks to Genea Access Control without running a single cable. Whether equipping one door or 100, the cloud-based solution helps hospitals, schools, enterprises, and more connect their security, wirelessly. Administrators can sync doors to video, visitor, and identity management systems through out-of-the-box integrations. Additionally, users can add access groups, create door schedules, and monitor hardware statuses right from a user-friendly, global dashboard.
