Aesthetic Options
A range of aesthetic options means there is a look to suit every installation. Choose from nine handle set options — Acadia, Aspiring, Banff, Denali, Glacier, Jasper, Nightcap, Peak, and Sequoia — and seven finishes including Bright Brass, Satin Brass, Satin Bronze, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Flat Black, Bright Stainless, and Satin Stainless.
Native Access Control
ICT wireless locks are a native component of your Protege system. No integration, middleware or third-party interface.
All configuration is performed within your existing Protege setup using standard door programming and utilizes existing records for users, credentials, access levels and other access control features. The solution truly is seamless.
Bluetooth® Mobile Credential Reading
Bluetooth® capability enables you to use your smartphone as your access credential for maximum convenience.
With the Protege Mobile App you can unlock the door using a unique access credential that is entered against your user record in the Protege system and authenticated by a secure cloud based server.
Secure with MIFARE DESFire
Based on the international standard ISO/IEC 14443 Type A, MIFARE DESFire represents the highest levels of physical credential security.
- Fully compliant with the international standard ISO/IEC 14443 Type A
- Multi-application memory to store several services on the same card, allowing for many integration possibilities
- Fast transaction speed
- High security and fraud protection
Convenient Programming
Because offline locks are not actively connected to the network, in many systems they are extremely inconvenient to program. In contrast Protege wireless locks can be configured using the tool you already have in your pocket.
With the Protege Config App, you can simply badge your phone at an update reader to pick up the latest configuration, then send the updates to any lock within Bluetooth® range. The app will automatically update the lock firmware as well, saving you time and money.
