The platform utilises the AXIS A1001, which is an open IP-based door controller that uses Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology to speed up installation and lower deployment costs. The AXIS 1001 delivers true interoperability and best-of-breed choices for present and future requirements.

“We’ve seen an opportunity to address an increasing customer need to outsource the day-today management of physical access control to their trusted security and service providers. It has traditionally been challenging for external companies outside of the organisation to manage physical access control due to technology limitations.”
