BETHESDA, MD., September 1, 2020<\/p>\n
Brivo, the global leader in cloud-based access control and smart apartment automation, announces the launch of the ACS100 all-in-one reader and controller. Designed to lower hardware costs and make installation easier and faster, the ACS100 is used with Brivo Onair, Brivo Mobile Pass and secure physical credentials to deliver better affordability and broaden the application for access control at more doors.<\/p>\n
A key feature of the ACS100 is Fluid Access, which allows users to unlock doors without removing their mobile credential from their pocket. In a time when reduced physical contact can halt the spread of germs, the ACS100 delivers a hands-free access solution to unlock doors.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe trend with landlords and property managers is to look for more architecturally pleasing products throughout their buildings. A plain old industrial looking reader just doesn\u2019t cut it any more,\u201d said Steve Van Till, President and CEO of Brivo. \u201cBetween the evolution of great looking IoT products in the smart home environment, plus the PropTech focus on occupant amenities, today\u2019s products have to deliver both good experiences and good aesthetics.\u201d<\/p>\n
Key benefits of the ACS100 combination reader and controller include:<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve seen a steady trend over the last 10 years toward IoT devices on the edge of the network, and away from traditional centralized control panels,\u201d explained Van Till. \u201cWe\u2019ve supported this migration with several different flavors of PoE controllers over earlier product cycles, so the ACS100 represents the logical next step in this shift of customer preferences to a single product that takes the place of two pieces of hardware and all the wiring between them.\u201d<\/p>\n
