Keri Systems has announced a series of deeper and wider integration with the Allegion Wireless lock products and an adjustment in the way in which they will jointly go to market.<\/p>\n
Many synergies exist between Keri Systems and Allegion; not the least of which are shared common Distribution Channels and alignment across a wide range of project types.\u00a0 Recently, Keri and Allegion have teamed-up to quote a number of larger, enterprise-level projects with current quoted doors well in excess of 1000.\u00a0 To date, there have also been a number of large successful integrations, which are either complete or continually growing.<\/p>\n
Originally, Keri had interfaced to the Allegion AD-400 series and to date this integration accounts for many of the successful projects.\u00a0 Recently, Keri upped the capacity of their\u00a0NXT\u00a0<\/a>series controllers, to handle a larger number of Allegion wireless locks.\u00a0 Consequently, Keri\u2019s interface to Allegion is more cost effective today, and easier to deploy.<\/p>\n Keri increased the capacity from 16 locks on a 4-door controller, all the way up to 64 locks on that same controller.\u00a0\u00a0Keri\u2019s NXT series\u00a0<\/a>controllers come in 2 and 4 door versions with up to 16 locks on an RS-485 door port.<\/p>\n More recently, Keri has interfaced to Allegion\u2019s NDE and LE series locksets, utilizing Allegion\u2019s EngageTM<\/sup>\u00a0Gateway.\u00a0 These locks can be deployed at a rate of 10 locks per trunk.\u00a0 In other words Keri supports 20 locks on a 2-door controller and 40 doors on a 4-door controller.\u00a0 There are plans in place to interface to the Allegion ControlTM<\/sup>\u00a0Lock and the Allegion WiFi series locks, at which point Keri will support all wireless products manufactured by Allegion.<\/p>\n Business and channel considerations have changed as well, with Keri Systems opting to sell the lock licenses only and not re-market the locks.\u00a0 There may be an occasional exception to this rule, but Keri and\u00a0Allegion\u00a0<\/a>share some common distribution partners and it has been deemed in the interest of both companies, to respect and support that channel.<\/p>\n \u201cWe all came to this party together and we all have skin in the game,” said\u00a0 Vince Deiuliis, Director of Sales and Marketing at Keri Systems. “It continues to be in our best interest to proceed as a team and enjoy the fruits or our collective resources.”<\/p>\nInterfacing<\/h2>\n
