SiPass integrated Security Management System to support Salto Offline Readers
The Siemens Building Technologies Division announces that SiPass integrated security management system now supports the offline readers from Salto. Customers benefit of a single comprehensive solution that uses just one card for both online and offline doors.
The combined solution of SiPass integrated and Salto offers customers the
best of both worlds – the opportunity to ensure maximum security at all high-risk
doors using SiPass integrated, Siemens’ world-leading online access control
system, while at the same time controlling access to lower-security interior
doors using Salto’s broad range of offline components. Access via both online
and offline doors is controlled using the same card. All the cardholder data for
both systems is stored in the SiPass integrated database and all events at all
doors – online and offline – appear in the SiPass integrated event log. The
information stored in the card provides a precise audit trail for each lock
within SiPass integrated.
The partnership between Salto and the Siemens Building Technologies Division to
develop this innovative integrated solution marks the beginning of a new era in
security management. Users of the integrated system will appreciate the fact
that they can use the same card at all doors. Security managers will be relieved
to get rid of the key management problem that results from having mechanical
locks with keys on low-security interior doors.
Marc Handels, Vice President Global Marketing for Salto, says: “This new
alliance helps both companies cater to the growing demand for integrated
security solutions. Combining Salto’s offline access control technology with
Siemens’ SiPass integrated online access control system enables us to provide
end users with a tailored solution specifically designed for their security
needs.”
“We are very pleased to be partnered with Salto, the market leader in offline
access control,” comments Peter Grace, product manager for SiPass integrated.
“With Salto’s help we have created a convenient, secure and cost-efficient
solution for our customers’ lower-security interior doors. We expect this
integration will be particularly attractive to institutions such as hospitals,
universities, large corporations, and other organizations with large numbers of
doors. They no longer have to choose between the advantages offered by an
advanced online access control system like SiPass integrated and the cost-efficiency
and convenience offered by Salto. They can truly have it all.”
Salto is the world leader in offline access control solutions, enabling users to
integrate their physical security needs through networked standalone locks. A
Salto offline system can manage up to 65,000 doors and 65,000 users in a single
system, securely controlling who has access to what, where and when at all times.
