Aperio® Technology enables cost effective expansions of access control systems made by any manufacturer

ASSA ABLOY’s Aperio® Technology enables the cost-effective integration of doors with mechanical locks into both new and existing access control systems. Thanks to its innovative wireless technology, integrating doors into an access control system will no longer require extensive wiring or structural alterations in the future. Doors will merely need to be equipped with electronic Aperio® locks with RFID readers and linked to the online access control system via a communications hub.

The manufacturer independent architecture of Aperio® provides a convenient way of connecting with most access control systems via RS485, Wiegand, or IP interface. The Aperio® cylinders, escutcheons or locks communicate via an encrypted wireless link to a communication hub that is wired directly to the system.
