The wireless access control product company SALTO has rebranded its cloud-based wireless lock as SALTO KS, Keys as a Service.
The rebrand has arisen from customer feedback, partners and installers, besides progress in cloud technologies, the product firm says.
SALTO Chief Marketing and Sales Officer Marc Handels says: “The cloud is here and once again SALTO is innovating security solutions by delivering – and continuously improving – our access control product to end users directly from the cloud. As a result of years of customer feedback from Clay by SALTO users and technological advancements in cloud computing, we’ve upgraded to a winning product in SALTO KS and the ability to deliver access control via Keys as a Service.”
SALTO says that its KS offers a solution for retail, that requires no software installation or the added expense of a fully-wired electronic product. All that is needed is an online device with an Internet connection. The company says its ‘Keys as a Service’ reduces cost and almost eliminates the need for maintenance.
The developers say that KS already includes more than 2,000 projects in five continents and has also been integrated with other security products such as Panasonic Cameramanager, the cloud CCTV company.
Handels adds: “The phrase Keys as a Service combines SALTO’s strong innovation in the access control market with the essence of cloud-computing. The word ‘keys’ is a recall to SALTO’s foundation of innovation, just as our SVN data-on-card system revolutionized the industry. The phrase ‘as a service’ is the essence of cloud computing referring to an increasing number of services that are delivered over the Internet rather than provided locally or on-site.”
