ACRE partners with WaveLynx Technologies

LAS VEGAS—ACRE, a global provider of security products and solutions for the access control, intrusion, smart traffic and video surveillance markets, announced that the ACRE brands — RS2, Vanderbilt and Open Options — will launch ACT ID, a new cloud-based mobile credential application.

“Mobility is an integral part of the goal of forward-thinking enterprise organizations, as more organizations look for way to leverage more touchless access control and seamless visitor management tools,” ACRE Chief Product Officer Kim Loy said in the announcement. “Partnering with WaveLynx across the ACRE organization allows our brands to capitalize on this demand from the market and diversify their ability to provide secure, convenient mobile security options to partners and customers alike.”   

The application enables organizations to utilize both iOS and Android smartphones with existing WaveLynx multi-technology readers for secure access to doors in office buildings, government facilities, healthcare institutions, schools, residences and a growing variety of enterprises.  

ACT ID features zero-touch, cloud-issued credentials for enrollment into a user’s access control system.  

The application does not require any subscriptions or fees, making it an extremely flexible and affordable solution that allows organizations to transition to mobile access at their own pace.   

“ACRE and its brands provide some of the industry’s most sought-after access control systems and solutions for customers across a variety of markets,” said WaveLynx Technologies Executive Vice President Laurie Aaron. “Through this integration, we’re able to provide additional functionality and risk-free mobile access solutions for end users to adopt as they update and expand their access control systems.”  

Since its formation in 2012, ACRE has played an instrumental role in the development and implementation of security technology initiatives on a global scale. ACRE’s Vanderbilt, RS2, Open Options and ComNet brands deliver advanced solutions to thousands of customers around the world. Today, ACRE employs approximately 400 employees in more than 20 countries.
