Aperio wireless locks and Rhombus platform integration

The recent development allows Rhombus clients to leverage wireless locks in locations

The recent development allows Rhombus clients to leverage wireless locks in locations unsuitable for wired solutions. By combining ASSA ABLOY's Aperio wireless locks with the Rhombus cloud platform, users gain a flexible and scalable approach to security management.

Brandon Salzberg, Chief Technology Officer at Rhombus, commented, "This partnership is further enabling organisations to manage access, video, sensors, and AI-driven intelligence through a single, cloud-based experience; no on-prem servers or complex deployments required." The integration targets various sectors, including education, healthcare, manufacturing, and corporate enterprises.

Expanding access control capabilities

The integration enables Rhombus users to easily expand both new and existing access control systems by including additional openings with Aperio locks. Offering an adaptable global platform, Aperio works with an array of locking hardware from ASSA ABLOY brands, providing versatility for diverse applications within facilities.

Aperio's technology employs wireless communication (IEEE 802.15.4) between the lock and the Aperio hub, ensuring real-time connectivity with access control systems. This wireless setup simplifies installation, subsequently reducing overall costs.
