Assa Abloy says its new eCLIQ electronic locking system features a ‘pioneering’ chip and 128-bit AES encryption, and has been developed to offer high security and resistance to electronic attack.
Its ‘proven technology and advanced microelectronics’ ensure quick, secure communication between lock and key, while the eCLIQ cylinders and programmable keys are ‘robust enough to withstand the harshest weather conditions’.
Assa Abloy said: “As the security demands placed on buildings become increasingly complex, eCLIQ’s flexibility means security managers can easily update access authorisations when required. Furthermore, lost eCLIQ keys can be quickly revoked, eliminating the time and money spent on changing lock cylinders and re-cutting keys. The system also offers time or area-restricted authorisations for an eCLIQ key. For example, contractors could be given access rights for the duration of a specific job. Once the job is completed, access is then withdrawn from the key.”
“The eCLIQ cylinders and keys meet the latest industrial standards for electronic locking systems, including DIN 15684 and VdS 2156-2. The range includes cylinders that work in temperatures from –25˚C to 85˚C. The durable, reversible electronic key is also waterproof to IP67. Installation is simple, and requires no wiring. Cylinder electronics are powered by an easy-to-replace standard battery with a 30,000 cycle lifetime.”
