Assignment #11: Determine The Specific Wireless Implementation Of A Wireless Lockset

Schlage Camelot BE369NX cam

Schlage's residential wireless products appear to use 900 mhz Z wave RF, which obviously is not wi-fi and uses it's own communications protocol to network

Sargent Profile Series v.S2 Cylindrical Lock

802.11b/g wireless network infrastructure

The Schlage AD-400 lock uses wireless (not wifi) communication at 900 MHz frequency. It requires a panel interface module (PIM400) wired directly to the Access Control Panel to communicate with the wireless lock. One PIM can support up to sixteen locks.

Side note, I noticed this lock advertises a "wake up on radio" feature which they claim allows "real-time" activation which can be adjusted to 1-10 seconds response time for system-wide unlock or lockdown.

The Kwikset bluetooth Deadbolt connects via bluetooth to a mobile phone and is managed via an app on an iphone/android app. so the phone is the controller and keyfob in one and the lock is the reader. pretty neat.

On a recent proposal, I specified the Profile Series Lockset w/Prox, Deadbolt, Key Overide, in a Right Handed configuration from Sargent. According to the spec sheet, the profile series connects to the building’s existing WiFi network, and can make decisions at the door if the network fails.

The Schlage NDE series allows connectivity via Wi-Fi and updates daily. It also uses NFC to allow the use of your phone as a credential. Overall a very smart design that would work well for small businesses considering that one can purchase the lock for around $500. Mangement of the lock is done through a phone app that also syncs to the lock with a cloud based system. This is a free app, which again, is fantastic for small business owners. You can also upgrade the mangement software to create schedules, permissions, etc.

Stanley EL series "wireless" locks operate in a standalone or wireless connected mode. Lock uses 125khz prox card for entry and can store 1000 credentials and 500 events at the lock. Wireless option uses a proprietary wireless "gateway" connected via TC/IP network to a workstation running the Stanley control software. The gateway can communicate with up to 64 locks. Wireless communications between the locks and the gateway is uses IEEE 802.18.4 (24GHz)

The Trilogy DL6100 connects to 802.11b/g networks.

The Salto XS4 escutcheons uses IEEE802.15.04 @2.4GHz http://www.saltosystems.com/en/product-range/explanation/31/salto-wireless/

The Yale Real Living Z-Wave Touch screen Remote works with the Z-Wave controller to provide a wireless lockset. It allows you to remotely control the locks through any Internet-abled device (smartphone or PC).

Aperio wireless Hub communicates directly with AperioTM enabled locks via an encrypted 2.4GHz wireless link.

The PDL6500 standalone networkable lock from Trilogy Networx communicates through ethernet and Wifi 802.11B/G.

The RemoteLock 6i is designed to use existing 802.11 routers in an office or business.

The Lockstate Remotelock DB500i (http://remotelock.com/product/remotelock-deadbolt-500i-satin-nickel/) connects to an 802.11 B WiFi connection.

In my research I found the following:

The Assa Abloy/Sargent Profile Series v.S2 communicates over 802.11 b/g wireless network protocol or infrastructure.

Sargent Profile Series v.S2 Mortise Lock uses 802.11b/g wireless network infrastructure. Lock will operate regardless of network status.

The Profile Series v.S2 gives you more access control for your budget. An ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 lock, the v.S2 connects to the building’s existing WiFi network,

The Schlage NDE 80 is designed for internal doors in the commercial environment. It communicated via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (802.11b/g).

The Assa Abloy Aperio line of line of wireless locksets offer a range of different hardware, from locksets to cabinet locks and server rack locks. The Aperio line utilizes Utilizes IEEE 802.15.4 wireless communication, which is classified as a Wireless Personal Area Network

A Brazilian company called Flex makes a variety of products that use Z-Wave (908 MHz in the US) to automate mostly residential devices. However, they do have a module that converts a Wiegand signal to a Z-Wave message. While I'm not totally sure how that works, it could be used to add a Wiegand reader and strike to an existing Z-Wave network. This would likely not be code compliant, but it's an interesting solution.

The Sargent Profile Series v.S2 utilizes 802.11b/g on a wireless network infrastructure.

The Schlage AD-400 communicates via 900mhz radio. It is described as a Wireless Access Point Module (WAPM) and works with the PIM 400 (Panel interface module). According to the manufacturers statement the PIM integrates with pretty much all access control panels. "The PIM400-TD2 seamlessly integrates to virtually any access control panel and their reader interface modules via Wiegand or Clock & Data protocols."

So: This is not using WiFi. It is using a radio to communicate with an interface that then hard-wires to the rest of the access control system.
