ASSA ABLOY Announces Aperio Integration with RS2® Technologies


New Haven, CT - ASSA ABLOY, the global leader in door opening solutions, and RS2® Technologies, a technology-driven manufacturer of cutting-edge access management hardware and software, announce the integration of RS2's hardware and software solutions with ASSA ABLOY'S range of Aperio(TM) wireless locks.

On the software side, Aperio wireless locks integrate with RS2's powerful Access It!® line of access control software, which includes Access It!® Lite.NETTM, an entry-level, single-user version, and Access It!® Universal, a multi-user, enterprise-wide system. Aperio also integrates with RS2's access management hardware, which is built around its System Control Processor (SCP) family and is based on 32-bit microcontrollers. By combining the power of these resources, users can extend the reach of their access control systems through their existing infrastructure and significantly reduce hardware and labor costs.

Aperio is a wireless technology from ASSA ABLOY that provides an easy, affordable way to connect additional openings to an existing electronic access control system. Offering wireless communication (IEEE 802.15.4), the simplicity and flexibility of Aperio allow lower-cost installations than traditional access control. With over 40 access control partners that have already adopted the technology globally, facilities can easily extend the number of doors that can be monitored with their currently installed panels and systems.

RS2 will be supporting Mercury Powered Aperio products, making integration into Mercury-based access control systems seamless.

"We're excited to bring this new level of flexibility to our customers," said David W. Barnard, RS2 Director of Dealer Development. "The integration of Aperio Technology with RS2's Access It! Software extends the benefits of access control to more openings throughout a building - increasing security and maximizing budgets."

"RS2 Technologies is a recognized and respected entity in the access-management arena," said Martin Huddart, Vice President, Electronic Access Control, ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions. "Since RS2 already integrates with ASSA ABLOY IP-enabled locks, this new partnership presents customers with another innovative solution for their access control needs."
