ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions has successfully integrated its Aperio® wireless lock technology with Rhombus, a cloud-managed security platform that amalgamates security cameras, access controls, sensors, and alarm monitoring.
This integration provides a comprehensive security solution managed from a single interface.
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.
Comprehensive security with Rhombus suite
The Rhombus access control suite is engineered to integrate seamlessly with its existing suite of cameras
The Rhombus access control suite is engineered to integrate seamlessly with its existing suite of cameras, sensors, and alarms. This creates a cohesive ecosystem for effective building security management, enhancing investigations with speed and intelligence, boosting security visibility, and mitigating potential threats.
The Rhombus Console acts as the central operational hub for physical security, offering a user-friendly interface for managing camera systems, access controls, and live monitoring. This cloud-based interface is designed for scalability, accommodating unlimited cameras, doors, users, and devices across multiple locations.
Embracing a cloud-native security approach
Angelo Faenza, Head of Access Control Solutions at ASSA ABLOY, stated, "Rhombus brings a modern, cloud-native approach that makes it easier for organisations to unify and manage security across their entire environment."
This collaboration emphasises the adaptability of Aperio locks when paired with the Rhombus platform, designed to replace traditional access control barriers and facilitate the development of smart, interconnected facilities.
