Paris schools group upgrades to wireless access

Paris, France

Assa Abloy Aperio wireless locks provide security and efficiency at Paris group of schools

After running a mechanical keys system for over 40 years, the Fénelon Sainte-Marie schools group in Paris, France has upgraded to Aperio wireless access. Together with the Isoview access control system from ARD, around 500 Aperio battery-powered locks have been installed wirelessly at the group’s seven sites.

These days staff and students require flexible, modern access control; visitors expect it. And of course, the reputational consequences of a failure to protect people or their confidential data can be severe.

The new Aperio wireless locks accommodated multiple door configurations, including building entrances, administrative offices and classrooms. "This solution has the enormous advantage of adapting itself to approximately 90 percent of all configurations," says Carlos Trinidad, technical manager at Fénelon Sainte-Marie.

Students and staff now open doors with smart cards employing Mifare technology. Aperio has also made life at Fénelon Sainte-Marie more convenient. Staff and pupils can use the same Mifare smart card to control lift access, order digital printouts or book a computer, for example.

Security was upgraded to protect staff and student confidentiality, as well as to raise the bar when it comes to physical protection of school sites. It was required to provide round-the-clock access control, to allow the group’s premises to host events outside of school hours.

“Aperio offers multiple solutions for authorising, monitoring and tracking access, including solutions we tailor-make for the education sector,” says David Geiswiller, access control sales manager at Assa Abloy.
