As it approaches the 10-year anniversary, ASSA ABLOY Access Control, a UK division of ASSA ABLOY, a provider of door opening solutions, is celebrating its partnership with Access Control Services Ltd. (ACS Ltd.), UK independent access control system manufacturers.
The two access control specialists continue to strengthen their partnership, which began almost ten years ago and saw the integration of ACS Ltd.’s xPLAN system and ASSA ABLOY Access Control’s Aperio® wireless locking technology. This combination creates a single point of administration and reporting for wired, wireless and wire-free systems, with additional support for other ‘data-on-card’ appliances, making the xPLAN system on of the most cost-effective and efficient access control solutions on the market.
Aperio® wireless locksets and cylinders are designed to serve as a combined card reader and locking device, as well as providing a real-time link to the online processor unit. In an xPLAN system, the xP1M Aperio® gateway controller provides distributed intelligence for a single wired door and up to 29 additional Aperio® battery-powered locking devices and associated hubs. This architecture enables maximum performance and resilience with reduced energy consumption and a reduction in the number of mains and LAN points.
