HID Edge

Edge is the next evolution in access control hardware solutions. A true IP solution that meets the demands of open architecture, IP-centric environments, Edge provides fully distributed intelligence and decision making right to the door, leveraging the IT infrastructure to the maximum extent possible. Edge Power Comes Through A Single CAT-5 run to the door -- Edge IP Access Solutions run everything at the door. From reader to strike, status to REX. And since each Edge IP Access Solution can utilize PoE (Power over Ethernet) driven right through the CAT-5, separate power supplies and multi-door controllers are no longer required. Edge configurations are exactingly constructed for Host environments as well as single door applications with a wide range of unique benefits. The simplicity of Edge is available for iCLASS readers or the option of a wide array of readers when choosing an EdgePlus solution.
