Isonas Opens Up Access

Author: Brian Rhodes, Published on Apr 06, 2016

Move over, HID, Mercury Security, and Axis?

Isonas has declared itself completely open to integrating with access platforms.

Not only is Isonas opening things up, but it is planning to have their controllers a mainstay option in the 3rd-party, open access hardware market.

The move broadens the prospective controller options, but what other benefits does Isonas bring to the table for dealers? Moreover, what barriers will Isonas face? 

We answer those questions and take a deeper look in this note.
