Piezo technology has paved the way for a whole new generation of high-reliability, low power locks. By connecting access control and lock technology into the building’s LAN infrastructure, new locks can be added simply by plugging into the network, or logging them in on a wireless connection.
As the new lock is not only a reader but also a communicator, the access control manager will receive information such as who, where and when a door was tried or opened in real-time and can react accordingly. Also, in case of an emergency like a fire alarm or terrorist attack, he can hand over the full control of a building’s door entry system to the authorities.
