Future-proof, fast digital access with the new ASSA ABLOY SMARTair® i-reader

  • 19 Aug 2024

Digital access should be quick, secure and convenient. It also needs to be comprehensive: not every opening in a building is suited to a cylinder, escutcheon or security lock. ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA‘s new SMARTair i-reader brings streamlined digital access to anywhere locking or blocking is automated — from entrance doors and turnstiles to lifts and car parks, including outdoors.

It’s easy and seamless to add the i-reader to any new or existing SMARTair digital access system, whatever SMARTair management option is in use. Retrofitting has been simplified. A choice of model sizes and mounts adapts to different locations and applications. Plus, recognising a growing focus on greening building operations to meet sustainability targets, it consumes up to 70% less energy than previous models.

With the new wall reader, security managers choose real-time control by reliable SMARTair technology already trusted in premises of all kinds, all over the world. Building users can have confidence they are sharing the space only with authorised employees and visitors.

Mikel Gaztañaga, at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions, comments: “This latest addition to the SMARTair range will help more businesses enjoy the efficiency, security and convenience benefits of digital access. With ASSA ABLOY, they can digitalise with confidence.”

Ease of use and contemporary aesthetics

The new SMARTair i-reader is designed from the ground up to meet the challenges of controlling and filtering access in any organisation. It enables fast, hassle-free access via a range of credentials, including cards, fobs, badges, and mobile keys stored securely on a user’s smartphone. Because a Bluetooth Low Energy hardware is integrated within the reader module, the new i-reader is mobile ready from day one for deploying mobile keys today, or down the line – thereby future-proofing investment in the device.

When fitted at parking barriers, a user’s mobile credential is detected from up to five metres away, for driver safety and convenience. At the same time, encrypted communications, enhanced security and upgraded firmware combine to combat the latest security threats and keep everyone else out.

As well as security and access management, the new i-reader has been built with both usability and contemporary aesthetics in mind. Clean lines and a fresh, robust design (IP56, IK09 certified; customisable LED) blend with other devices in the SMARTair family to harmonise design and minimise ongoing maintenance needs.

Mikel adds: “Our new SMARTair i-reader employs the latest digital technology to keep people and assets safe. It’s another tool to help organisations of every size and type prepare their access for what’s ahead.”
