G4S Technology is pleased to announce that the Symmetry Security Management System (SMS) now integrates with SALTO off-line readers.

G4S Technology is a leading manufacturer of fully integrated security and smart card solutions. Listening to customers and responding to the challenges they face has enabled G4S Technology to deliver the Symmetry SMS, incorporating different technologies to provide organisations with a solution for all security and building control functions.

The partnership between G4S Technology and SALTO marks a new era in access control. Not only will users benefit from the simplicity of using their access control card for all doors but, should staff / students leave, there are no keys to return - simply cancel the card on the system. New users can also be added with ease and access rights can be updated at the touch of a button.

Both smart cards and locks can be programmed to allow or restrict access to different parts of the building, while the information stored in the card can provide a precise audit trail for each lock within Symmetry SMS.

“We are pleased to be able to offer our customers increased flexibility by integrating with such a respected, market leader as SALTO” said David Ella, Chief Technology Officer for G4S Technology. “The integration will bring worthwhile cost savings to large institutions and provide complete access control flexibility”.

Marc Handels, Vice President Global Marketing for SALTO Systems says “The integration of SALTO’s advanced access control technology with the Symmetry Security Management System will provide unrivalled versatility for our customers. We are great believers in delivering ‘best-in-class’ solutions. This integration partnership between SALTO and G4S Technology perfectly fits that strategy.”

Expanding integration to include SALTO lock and door cylinders enables Symmetry SMS users to benefit from enhanced system flexibility across a diverse range of security needs. G4S Technology particularly see Universities and Hospitals as two predominant markets for off-line access control due to the large number of users and wide range of access rights across the large campuses.
