The access control manufacturer HID Global has released its EDGE EVO and VertX EVO controller platform. According to the US-based company, that product brings intelligence and decision-making to the door for customisable networked access control.
The makers say that EDGE EVO and VertX EVO offer an open and scalable development platform for the deployment of a range of access control, including remote management options, real-time monitoring, report generation and a custom rules engine that enables the use of the system hardware for complementary applications. Protecting the hardware investments of end users, the new platform builds on the success of the company’s EDGE and VertX solutions and provides access control architecture that delivers security features and performance with installation and upgrade options.
John Fenske, vice president of product marketing with HID Globa, said: l“HID Global’s EDGE EVO and VertX EVO controller platform, including a Developer Tool Kit with OPIN application programming interface (API), offers expanded capacity and higher performance, demonstrating our commitment to providing open solutions based on direct feedback from our partners. The state-of-art features in our next generation IP-enabled platform emphasise HID Global’s dedication to driving market innovation to efficiently manage identities for access control while also ensuring our customers optimise their Genuine HID investment.”
The company adds that the scalability of the EDGE EVO and VertX EVO controller platform enables a range of future access control functions that are interoperable with wireless locks and deliver security, such as implementations of access rules, keypad door commands and large-scale anti-passback. VertX EVO controllers operate within the company’s Trusted Identity Platform (TIP). These components will enable this version and future revisions of the controller platform to operate with fully trusted connections from host to controller to reader, increasing security options for access control systems.
