OUTDOOR SECURITY & PADLOCKS
Abloy UK launches versatile and durable SMARTair ® i-gate Electronic Padlock
Abloy UK has launched the new SMARTair ® i-gate Electronic Padlock , which is built for use almost anywhere , boasting resistance to attack and extreme weather , wire-free installation , and battery-powered operation .
» THIS NEW DEVICE IN THE SMARTAIR wireless access control range enables facility managers to add real-time control to non-electrified gates , cupboards , cabinets , crates and more — wherever they are and whatever the climate .
For many organisations , security and access needs do not stop at the perimeter door . Yet finding reliable locking devices which are easy to operate with an electronic access system can be difficult . Gates and outbuildings are hard to reach with cabling . Access devices may not have the resilience required for reliable operation outdoors . The i-gate is built to meet these challenges .
Pip Courcoux , Product and Sales Manager for CLIQ ® at Abloy UK , explains : “ The new SMARTair i-gate Electronic Padlock helps our customers extend wirefree control to new access points . It can be instantly moved to wherever a resistant , adaptable locking device is needed .
“ Site managers no longer need to worry about outbuildings , gates , cupboards and more , because they can monitor and control access to them electronically , remotely and in real time , when required .”
Upgrading an existing padlocked closure involves simply swapping the devices and integrating the i-gate Padlock into an existing or new SMARTair wireless access control system , and no drilling or wiring is required . The i-gate Padlock is available in a contemporary black finish with stainless steel shackle .
Exterior and interior openings previously unsuited to electronic access control can now be controlled and monitored from a familiar software interface , including remotely from the SMARTair Web Manager .
An i-gate is compatible with any SMARTair system management option : Standalone , for basic access control functionality ; Update on Card ; Openow™ , for access management and unlocking via smartphone ; and Pro Wireless Online , for real-time management of every door and system user .
Tough enough for all weathers , compatible with any credential
The new SMARTair i-gate padlock is robust enough for almost any climate conditions . It has a watertight cover ( IP68 rating ) and an internal cylinder with Durability EN 15684 Class 6 Certification . It is battery powered and works with all standard proximity credential technologies , including MIFARE ®, DESFire and iCLASS ®, as well as Bluetooth Low Energy .
When combined with Openow , the mobile solution for SMARTair , users no longer need to carry separate card or fob credentials . Instead , their phone stores secure virtual keys which can be issued , amended , or cancelled at any time .
No one wastes time collecting or validating an access card , because they can unlock the new SMARTair i-gate Padlock with a smartphone . With Openow , if you have your phone , you are already carrying your keys .
