ASSA ABLOY has released their new SMARTair i-reader, which they state brings streamlined digital access to anywhere locking or blocking is automated.
Digital access should be quick, secure and convenient. It also needs to be comprehensive: not every opening in a building is suited to a cylinder, escutcheon or security lock.
It’s easy and seamless to add the i-reader to any new or existing SMARTair digital access system, whatever SMARTair management option is in use. Retrofitting has been simplified. A choice of model sizes and mounts adapts to different locations and applications.
Plus, recognising a growing focus on greening building operations to meet sustainability targets, ASSA ABLOY claims it consumes up to 70% less energy than previous models.
With the new wall reader, security managers choose real-time control by reliable SMARTair technology already trusted in premises of all kinds, all over the world. Building users can have confidence that they are sharing the space only with authorized employees and visitors.
“This latest addition to the SMARTair range will help more businesses enjoy the efficiency, security and convenience benefits of digital access,” says Mikel Gaztañaga at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions. “With ASSA ABLOY, they can digitalise with confidence.”
Ease of use and contemporary aesthetics
The new SMARTair i-reader is designed from the ground up to meet the challenges of controlling and filtering access in any organisation. It enables fast, hassle-free access via a range of credentials, including cards, fobs, badges and mobile keys stored securely on a user’s smartphone.
Because a Bluetooth Low Energy hardware is integrated within the reader module), the new i-reader is mobile ready from day one for deploying mobile keys today, or down the line – thereby future-proofing investment in the device.
When fitted at parking barriers, a user’s mobile credential is detected from up to 5 metres away, for driver safety and convenience. At the same time, encrypted communications, enhanced security and upgraded firmware combine to combat the latest security threats and keep everyone else out.
As well as security and access management, the new i-reader has been built with both usability and contemporary aesthetics in mind. Clean lines and a fresh, robust design (IP56, IK09 certified; customisable LED) blend with other devices in the SMARTair family to harmonise design and minimise ongoing maintenance needs.
“Our new SMARTair i-reader employs the latest digital technology to keep people and assets safe,” adds Mikel Gaztañaga. “It’s another tool to help organizations of every size and type prepare their access for what’s ahead.”
