First e-lock solution to support 125kHz RFID technology

Aperio from Assa Abloy has become the first e-lock solution available globally to support 125kHz (HID PROX and EM410x) trusted RFID technology, says the company. Aperio is designed to upgrade mechanically locked doors and wirelessly connect them online or offline to new or existing access control systems, with minimal modification to doors and premises.
Assa Abloy says the new Aperio 125kHz devices ensure end customers with an equivalent EAC system can easily expand to incorporate additional wireless Aperio doors, without having the additional expense of dual technology cards.
“Aperio is Europe’s fastest growing wireless locking solution and now combined with the most popular and trusted RFID, it offers our customers a powerful solution to add to the existing range of Aperio products,” said Chris Bone, vice president access control EMEA. "In Europe alone, approximately 50% of installed access control systems still run with low frequency 125kHz.
