Islington Council has cloud based door entry for managing access control to communal residential developments across its housing in London. Islington has made the transition to a PAC cloud across its housing.
Initially, PAC tested the system across six blocks chosen by the council’s capital works team. The pilot saw a move to fob access to communal areas. The works have now been extended to more locations across the borough. The manufacturer Comelit-PAC says its product can accommodate the high frequency movement of residents and operators who may need controlled access to communal areas.
Islington has been using PAC systems for over 25 years, with the manufacturer working with the borough’s technical services from specification to installation, for a transition from the standalone system to the cloud. For the borough, old resident details can be removed and replaced as necessary.
Paul Scott, Sales Manager at Comelit-PAC said: “The benefit of the long term relationship we share with the London Borough of Islington, is that we understand their requirements, from a technical and operational perspective. We also have come to know their processes to ensure resident safety across its housing network.
“The new cloud system enables the Homes and Neighbourhoods team to operate more efficiently, especially with the new focus on hybrid working. It also comes with the assurance that all data is safely stored and backed up, secure and accessible, even remotely when they are not on site. This means they can respond quickly to resident’s needs for new or replacement fobs, and ultimately secure access to their home.”
