Abloy UK launches new RIBA approved CPD

UK News Desk / Rebecca Morpeth-Spayne

Abloy UK, a provider of security and access control solutions, has announced the launch of a new RIBA approved CPD training programme focussed on wireless access control. This initiative aims to provide architects and building professionals with comprehensive knowledge and insights into the latest advancements in security technology. The comprehensive CPD training programme addresses the increasing demand for wireless access control solutions. Drawing insights from the latest industry research, including the annual Wireless Access Control Report[1], the course explores the benefits and applications of wireless technology in modern security infrastructure. The launch of this RIBA approved CPD is the latest addition to courses offered by Abloy’s renowned Academy, demonstrating its commitment to empowering professionals with the tools and knowledge needed to navigate the evolving landscape of security solutions effectively. Some key learning outcomes that attendees can take from this course include an overview of wireless locking basic principles and architecture, and how having an integrated online system offers a multitude of benefits. For example, wireless access control is a credible, cost-effective, and compliant alternative to a wired solution, and can help meet environmental objectives. It can also be the answer for tricky to wire doors, and can integrate seamlessly into current access solutions. Other key topics include how these solutions can reduce installation time and costs, and how they positively impact the working environment, as well as streamlining operations. The training also examines the integration of wireless technology into existing access solutions and organisational systems, illustrating compatibility with current infrastructure and creating safer and more efficient environments. The CPD offers examples for sector specific applications too, including healthcare, education, commercial environments, offices and corporate headquarters, and entertainment and sports arenas. Jason Boyce, Commercial Project Manager at Abloy UK, said: “When wireless locking first came to the market as an alternative, there was a nervousness that suggesting wireless as a credible replacement would upset the industry. Experience has taught us that wireless is not only a credible alternative but, in many cases, a better solution.” “This course is not just about learning new skills; it’s about adapting to evolving trends, refining existing expertise, and ultimately, ensuring that professionals are equipped to tackle the challenges of wireless access control specification with confidence.” “This brand-new CPD demonstrates our commitment to providing training to educate and inform on standards, legislation, best practice, and developing digital technology.” [1] ASSA ABLOY & IFSEC 2023 Wireless Access Control Report – https://www.abloy.com/gb/en/campaigns/2023-wac-report See our latest issue here.

A new upgrade in the CLIQ ecosystem

News Desk / Rebecca Morpeth-Spayne

Organizations equipped with CLIQ intelligent key-based access management have confidence that their premises and employees are safe and secure. With CLIQ you can flexibly manage access, to secure almost any opening with electronic cylinders or padlocks and programmable smart keys. A new upgrade in the programming device family simultaneously enhances this security and convenience. Requiring regular credential updates is the simplest, most effective method for keeping premises secure. ASSA ABLOY’s new CLIQ Wall Programming Device (PD) helps to update keys’ access rights faster without involving the system administrator. This cuts the risk of unauthorized keys circulating. CLIQ is built around precision-engineered locking cylinders and high-end microelectronics. A standard battery, lasting approximately 10 years with typical use, inside each programmable smart key powers the cylinder or padlock — and encrypts data transfer between lock, key and system. Robust, durable CLIQ cylinder locks secure lifts, machines, mailboxes, cabinets and more with the same control as sensitive doors. A range of programming devices transfer and update access rights for keys. Fast, reliable CLIQ key updating for enhanced security — indoors and outdoors The CLIQ Wall PD, available as indoor and outdoor variant, has now been redesigned to make this updating process faster and easier than ever. “Facility managers can have the peace of mind that every user key in circulation is easy to load with the latest approved access rights and validity,” explains Stephan Schulz, CLIQ Product Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA. “The Wall PD can also collect audit trails directly from keys. Life is just easier when you CLIQ!” The upgraded CLIQ Wall PD protects users against mis-steps, confusion or false positives during key programming: Intuitive LED lighting instantly confirms when their key is updated in both the indoor and outdoor product variants. The CLIQ Outdoor Wall PD is the ideal solution for demanding environments as it is protected against weather and vandalism. With the new CLIQ Wall PDs, keyholders and facility managers don’t need to worry about data privacy. Enhanced encryption via Ethernet ensures every issued CLIQ key is protected with robust security. The upgraded device now supports the 802.1x protocol for enhanced security. And with rapid installation — using the existing wiring and backplate — it is simple to switch existing wall programmers for new devices to keep a site and staff safer. Total compatibility with existing and future CLIQ keys ensures that replacing old programmers with the new CLIQ Wall PD is hassle-free and future-proof.
