The scalability of the EDGE EVO and VertX EVO controller platform enables a comprehensive range of future access control functions that are interoperable with wireless locks and deliver enhanced security, such as implementations of highly advanced access rules, keypad door commands and large-scale anti-passback. Additionally, Vertx EVO controllers operate within the company’s Trusted Identity Platform® (TIP™). These components will enable this version and future revisions f the controller platform to operate with fully trusted connections from host to controller to reader, substantially increasing security options for access control systems of the future.
