Aperio™ wireless RFID-Reader locks are now certified as Genuine HID Technology, and are interoperable with Seos™ credentials and HID Global iCLASS SE® Readers.
ASSA ABLOY’s Aperio™ locks have been Genuine HID Technology™-certified and now further extend the industry’s broadest portfolio of end-user options for creating trusted, advanced and dependable secure identity solutions. Aperio™ lock technology provides organizations with an easy way to wirelessly link mechanical door locks to new or existing access control systems so that the doors can be opened with RFID cards rather than keys. Aperio™ lock technology enables doors to be integrated into an access control system without having to install wiring, make any structural changes to the doors, or modify existing access control credentials or system software.
As a certified Genuine HID Technology, Aperio now also supports HID Global’s iCLASS SE platform, which is the benchmark for highly adaptable, interoperable and secure access control solutions, and includes Seos credentials for improved security, privacy and portability. Additionally, Aperio™ locks support iCLASS®, MIFARE® and DESFire®, as well as low frequency 125 kHz HID Prox and EM410x technology.
By certifying ASSA ABLOY’s Aperio™ wireless lock family as a Genuine HID Technology, ASSA ABLOY and HID Global give Aperio™ customers the assurance that these products are supported by a wide array of innovative and interoperable solutions that have been enhanced by an international network of partnerships and alliances and are manufactured in worldwide ISO-certified facilities. This Genuine HID commitment also means that all products are backed by the industry’s strongest delivery-and-response platform plus global product warranty and agency certifications. Aperio™ customers also benefit from interoperability with the HID Global iCLASS SE platform and Seos credentials. Based on open standards, the iCLASS platform ensures that technology investments can be leveraged in the future, and that today’s access control solutions will work with future products including those using NFC-enabled smartphones and other devices.
