Povodí Vltavy Praha is a state enterprise that manages and maintains significant watercourses and state-owned waterworks in the Czech Republic. After replacing old buildings at its Prague site with three new administrative buildings, Povodí Vltavy sought a 21st-century security solution.

“Mechanical keys are no use for security needs as stringent as ours. With Aperio® we get the highest level of wireless security for an affordable price — leaving as much of our budget as possible for our important environmental work,” says Vit Snevajs at Povodí Vltavy Praha.

The installation includes multiple Aperio® E100 wireless escutcheons, in two security grades. Each is linked to the access control system via Aperio® 1-to-8 wireless communications hubs, which prove very cost efficient for sites with multiple doors within 15 to 25 metres of each other.

David Nigrín, Sales Manager System Integrators at ASSA ABLOY, says: “Aperio® is so easy to install. And because it is wireless, it is ideally suited to new-build premises. There is no need for ugly cabling that destroys building design aesthetics.”

About Aperio®: Available on the global market place, ASSA ABLOY’s Aperio® Technology enables a wide range of access control providers to cost-effectively integrate non-wired doors with mechanical locks into access control systems.
