Software House, which is part of Tyco Security Products, recently announced that its C-Cure 9000 security and event management system integrates with IP-enabled, WiFi and Power over Ethernet locks from Assa Abloy's Sargent and Corbin Russwin brands.
The integration of the Software House system and Assa Abloy locks includes the Sargent Profile Series v.S1 and v.S2 locks, Sargent Passport 1000 P1 and P2 locks, along with Corbin Russwin Access 700 PIP1 and PWI1, and Access 800 WI1 IP-enabled locks. "These locks simplify installation and reduce installation costs by utilizing existing Ethernet and WiFi networks to communicate with the C-Cure 9000 server," Tyco explains. "Assa Abloy's WiFi and PoE locks are available in cylindrical lock, mortise lock and exit device configurations."
Tyco Security Products' vice president of product management, Warren Brown, said, "Wireless and PoE locks significantly reduce the cost of bringing electronic security deeper inside dorm buildings, offices, hospitals and other sites. Rather than carrying a bulky key ring, students, employees and administrators can now use one card throughout the buildings they need access to. At the same time, when an incident occurs, administrators get the added visibility wireless locks provide on who really accessed important locations and when."
Assa Abloy's vice president of electronic technologies, Martin Huddart, added that both his company and Tyco Security Products believe "in empowering the end user by providing powerful and easy-to-implement IP-based security technologies. This partnership enhances the ability of end users to expand their access control systems from the perimeter door to the interior of the building."
