Assa Abloy to showcase new wireless access solutions in Essen

Essen, Germany

Assa Abloy will be exhibiting new additions to their flagship card- and key-based access control solutions at Security Essen 2016, later this month.

Among the innovative products on show will be the Ecliq locking system, fully electronic access control with programmable cylinders and battery-powered keys. Hardware and software enhancements to Aperio and Smartair wireless access control will also be on show at the Assa Abloy stand.

The latest innovations in wireless electronic access control to be exhibited include the new, fully electronic generation of CLIQ, the Ecliq, which allows companies to bring electronic access control much deeper into their premises: Ecliq can be fitted to doors without making any structural alterations. There are Ecliq solutions for padlocks, mailboxes, elevators, and alarm systems, and Ecliq components can secure openings both indoors and outdoors: the Ecliq portfolio includes cylinders able to operate from –25°C to 85°C and the durable, battery-powered Ecliq electronic key meets the IP67 waterproof standard.

The latest Aperio technology battery-powered locks which integrate seamlessly with third-party access control systems from several market-leading manufacturers will also be demonstrated at the event. Aperio supports various RFID technologies including Iclass, Mifare and Legic. The range includes online and offline cylinders, escutcheons, locks and dedicated server rack locks.

The Smartair stand-alone wireless access control system enables small to medium-sized businesses to go keyless quickly and affordably — and without any need to replace existing mechanical locks. The latest generation of real-time system management with Smartair Wireless Online is due to be showcased.

Also available on the stand will be a new market report researched by Assa Abloy and Ifsec Global, packed with unique data covering 2016 trends in commercial electronic access control. Key findings point to the significant continued growth of wireless locking solutions, with still more potential waiting to be tapped — including in securing openings other than traditional doors, from cabinets to server racks.

“Wireless technologies including Aperio, Smartair and Cliq are grabbing more and more share in the access control market,” says Thomas Schulz, Director of Marketing and Communications at Assa Abloy EMEA. “In fact, our detailed market research discovered that 29% of commercial properties are already using a wireless or hybrid wired/wireless access system. That’s an increase of 5% on similar research findings we published in 2014 — a big leap in just a couple of years.”
