INDUSTRYNEWS • 5 PROUD SPONSORS OF THIS PAGE SLEEK NEW LAUNCH SALTO Systems has launched the new AElement Fusion hotel lock, the latest addition to its class leading hospitality access control portfolio. » » AELEMENT FUSION IS AN electronic lock with a sleek reader accentuated by an interactive light ring that illuminates when access credentials are presented. It eliminates lock hardware on the door by encasing all electronic components inside the door itself, making security virtually invisible. Its modernistic, minimal design blends effortlessly with any style of hotel décor, and its RFID, Near Field Communication (NFC) and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) compatible technologies enable it to seamlessly integrate with many mobile applications including SALTO Systems’ JustIN Mobile. “The small, customizable light ring reader of AElement Fusion provides a discreet electronic lock for hotels looking to deploy electronic access control with a stylish, yet technologically-advanced solution,” says Rob Zijl, SALTO Systems Vice President- Hospitality Access Solutions. “We’ve had great success with the first generation AElement product, however, time and technology wait for no one. To keep up with our latest innovations – such as our JustIN Mobile app – an update of our hardware was necessary, which is why we launched AElement Fusion.” Achieving dynamic lockdown at IFSEC 2017 » » SECURITY EXPERT Abloy UK is inviting visitors to IFSEC 2017 to view its range of compliant locking solutions that help achieve dynamic lockdown, and attend its seminar on using innovation and technology for mitigating risk. Held on 20 - 22 June 2017 at ExCeL London, IFSEC International is Europe’s largest security exhibition. Abloy takes up residence in a new section of the show this year, positioned on stand C1560 in the Borders & Infrastructure area of the exhibition. Steve Wintle, Head of CNI at Abloy UK, said: “With such an industry focus on cyber security risks, there is often the potential to overlook, or underestimate elements of physical security. However the ability to be able to lockdown a building in the event of an emergency such as a terror attack is crucial. “We want to get face-to- face with visitors at IFSEC to discuss the bespoke solutions we can provide to organisations looking for a compliant patented access control system – no matter what the requirements.” Steve will be hosting the seminar at the Borders & Infrastructure theatre on Wednesday 21st June between 14.20 - 15.10.
