Where are Card-Connected locks used?
Industry studies report that only 3 to 4% of all locations are electronically secured. Corporate security officers want to secure more locations and assets, but the cost of installation and wiring, especially for remote locations and mobile assets, has so far proven prohibitive.
Card-Connected locks are ideal for any company or organization that:- has offices, storage spaces, equipment rooms, or remote facilities that should be protected by electronic access control but for which traditional wired access control is too expensive or impractical,
- is required to control and record auditable data for access to sensitive information such as in the financial (Sarbanes-Oxley) and healthcare (HIPAA) industries, and
- has or maintains critical infrastructure that must meet newly established DHS regulations such as the petrochemical and power industries.
In all these organizations, access points and assets anywhere in the world can now be secured without relying on wired or wireless connections, at a fraction of the cost. And soon, Card-Connected padlocks, cabinet locks, and safe locks will be available to further extend electronic access control across the enterprise.
