ACCESS CONTROL
Adam Stroud explains:“ Solo is not the first cloud-based access control system; however, it takes the concept to a new level by making full use of cloud and mobile phone technology. By doing this, the equipment being installed can be dramatically simplified, while still providing flexible access control to the highest security standards.
“ Additionally, by supporting a servicebased model, we can offer installers choice regarding the ongoing support they provide to customers.”
Limitless opportunities
All that is required for a Solo system is a Solo DoorTag, Solo Controller, power supply, electronic lock and the Paxton Solo app.
Operating independently from a fixed on-site data network, Solo is suited to a huge host of environments where traditional networked systems would be impractical.
This includes small independent businesses, residential settings such as short-term rentals and student accommodation, and healthcare environments including clinics and care homes.
Solo is equally suited to gyms, lockers, bike storage facilities, gates and remote buildings, as well as temporary installations such as building sites where fixed data infrastructure is unavailable or impractical.
Adam Stroud concludes:“ Solo is designed to be installed independently of a customer’ s IT network. The installation takes a fraction of the time required for a traditional system. Coupled with the highly competitive nature of Solo, this gives installers the ability to win more quotes, and the ability to install more systems without increasing the size of the team.”
Built to the highest cyber security standards
Paxton worked closely with leading cyber-security experts, Pentest Partners, to verify that Solo is a high-security solution for today and tomorrow.
The system has been developed to the highest security standards, achieving IASME Level 1 and Level 2 certification prior to launch during rigorous beta testing.
To ensure resilience against modern cyber threats, Paxton has also achieved UL IoT Cybersecurity Diamond certification, which is the highest possible accreditation.
Get hands-on with Solo
Solo is now being introduced to installers across the UK, giving them the opportunity to experience the phonebased, cloud-hosted system firsthand and explore its commercial potential.
As part of the launch, installers can claim a free Solo starter kit, allowing them to trial the system and see how it can work for their business.
