There are several solution to a single problem, that principle is often applicable with technology driven companies and manufacturers. This is because of the fact that every problem encountered may have several solution thus the development of several products which are designed to solve a single problem. The field of security and alert systems industry is not an exemption to this principle, specially so that many security and alert systems companies have been developing security and alert system devices in order to solve particular problems that may concern security. This implies that every security problem may have several solution and such solutions are exhibited by the different products released by the security and alert systems company.
One problem in the field of security that in the field of access control, many access control systems were developed in order to limit the entry and exit of people to and from specific company premises. However, locking mechanism of conventional access control systems may sometimes be easily by-passed by some unscrupulous people prompting security and alert systems manufacturer to develop a new type of access control system. Salto one of the foremost security and alert systems company has developed and recently released to the market the Salto GEO or the Salto Global Electronic Opening. This is an electronic cylinder lock that is designed to be used with doors where the normal escutcheons can’t be fitted. The Salto GEO is integrated with the XS4 platform and considered to be a versatile and cost-effective access control system apart from the fact that it can easily be installed.
The Salto GEO has a virtual network capability and a built-in NFC compatibility. Recognition of access could be recognised by the SALTO GEO through iButtons, ID Carriers, DESFire, Mifare and Mifare Ultralight. Finally the Salto GEO provides both acoustic and optical signalling which emanates from its light ring which can signify authorisation or access. With these features indeed the Salto GEO is an alternative access control system.
