Facilities that employ the OnGuard can easily extend access control to opening using WiFi

ASSA ABLOY, the global leader in door opening solutions, has received Lenel factory certification. Facilities that employ the OnGuard® can now easily extend access control to any opening using WiFi and Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) locks from ASSA ABLOY Group brands CORBIN RUSSWIN and SARGENT.

The CORBIN RUSSWIN and SARGENT IP-enabled products lower the total cost of ownership by utilising open-standard technologies that reduce installation labor. The IP-enabled devices include locks that connect to a host system through an existing 802.11b/g WiFi network, and IEEE 802.3af compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) locks that connect to the Local Area Network (LAN) utilising a single Ethernet cable for both power and data.

"We are very excited to announce the integration of ASSA ABLOY IP locks into Lenel's well-respected OnGuard platform," said Martin Huddart, Vice President of Electronic Access Control for ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions.

"Lenel VARs can now offer facilities the ability to upgrade the security of interior openings by providing an affordable solution for expanding their access control system," said Gidon Lissai, Director of Strategic Alliances for Lenel. "We look forward to their continued involvement in the Lenel OpenAccess Alliance Program."
