The integration offers end users options for expanding their physical security system 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.

“The integration of Genea Access Control with our IP-enabled locks makes it even easier to leverage the capabilities of the Genea platform,” added Angelo Faenza, head of U.S. digital access solutions, ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions Americas. “The ability to bring access control to more doors quickly and efficiently allows facilities to increase security and convenience using an innovative access control management system.”
