ASSA ABLOY - Aperio® Mobile access

A Mobile access is changing the way we interact with buildings and how we manage their security. The smartphone becomes a mobile key just as easily as it transforms into a payment card or a map. With this convenient device, users unlock buildings or rooms, across one or multiple sites, securely and at a lower cost to a business than alternative credentials.  Mobile access via Aperio battery powered locks is built on Seos, a next-generation platform with class-leading cryptography and authentication, plus unrivalled privacy protection. Security managers can amend mobile credentials over the air, without any need for dedicated readers or asking a user to check-in their credential. Nobody is left waiting around for their access permissions to update.  Compatibility and security are at the heart of Aperio mobile access. Aperio locks already accept all major RFID credentials as well as the NFC mobile wireless protocol. The E100 Electronic Escutcheon works with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) too. More Aperio devices will offer BLE compatibility in a near future.  User experience at the door is always identical. Users simply present their Android or Apple phone at the reader, just as they would a smart-card. They don’t even need to open an app. No training is needed, because unlocking an Aperio device is easy and intuitive.  Aperio locks can operate with all credential technologies simultaneously: Building users need not unanimously adopt one format. Security managers do not have to implement a mass transfer to a single technology. Businesses can run RFID and mobile in parallel. They can upgrade from low- to high-security credentials when they choose. Every technology is always included in the package: There is no decision to make at the moment of purchase.  Aperio locks already reduce the cost of extending access control within a building, wire-free. They are quick to install, cost-efficient to run and integrate seamlessly with security systems from over 100 different manufacturers.

ASSA ABLOY Aperio® KL100: a new wireless access solution for lockers and cabinets
ASSA ABLOY Aperio® KL100: a new wireless access solution for lockers and cabinets

Access control should not stop at doors: In shared spaces, valuables and other personal items deserve the same protection as offices, treatment rooms or server racks. Many access solutions are limited to the door environment. This is where the new Aperio KL100 comes in: It integrates seamlessly with more than 100 access control systems, bringing security to many access points beyond just doors.  Managing the security of additional access points outside a security system increases risk, complexity and workload. The battery-powered Aperio KL100 solves this problem. It secures lockers, cabinets, cupboards, drawers. Almost any small opening quickly becomes an integral part of an access control system. An Aperio KL100 fitted at these points gives personal valuables, medicines, sensitive documents, retail stock, sports kit and more the security they deserve. It deters unauthorized access and theft. With two different lengths and several CAM options, the KL100 is a straightforward retrofit solution. It suits almost any locker, cabinet or drawer, whether wooden or metal. Powered by one battery, this wireless lock consumes very little power — it only “wakes up” when a credential is presented — and needs no specialist maintenance. In line with every device in the Aperio range of battery-powered locks, this protection does not require the hassle or inflexibility of physical keys. An Aperio KL100 can be operated with mobile keys via Bluetooth Low Energy and NFC, as well as smartcards and fobs using all major RFID technologies. For added user convenience, the device accepts multiple credential technologies simultaneously, in parallel, so security managers can roll out mobile keys at their own pace. Easy hardware integration for greater efficiency and convenienceThe Aperio KL100 is designed for minimal disruption to furniture. A tiny footprint and wire-free operation ensure it’s fitted quickly without causing damage or visual impact. Yet within this small package is a powerful device which integrates seamlessly with any new or existing access control and security system — from over 100 different manufacturers and counting. Existing user credentials do not need to be replaced. A KL100 may be connected Online, Offline or via OSS compliant integration — and switched between them at any time. Online management enables real-time control over every KL100 lock, with easy access rights administration and instant availability of audit trails for any opening or user — which makes incident investigation fast and accurate. The Aperio KL100 Locker and Cabinet Lock joins a family of trusted wireless, battery-powered devices which includes cylinders, escutcheons, handles, security locks, server rack locks and more. With its contemporary, low-profile design and power provided by a single, standard lithium battery, the KL100 is the modern choice for securing any site’s valuables and sensitive small spaces.
