Access Control



SALTO Ispired Access




To install the perfect electronic access control system, whether it is for airports, hospitals, high rise residential or commercial buildings, industrial sites, government complexes, universities or hotels, you need a tried and proven access control partner that you can rely on.

The ultimate access control package that does not require hard wiring, instead, utilizing a truly distributed intelligence platform, where both the lock and the key (and/or keycard) hold important elements of the access permissions, the e-BiLock IAC solution offers facility managers an unprecedented opportunity to manage their access control in a secure and economical manner.

With the introduction of the e-BiLock IAC solution, electronic and mechanical key management has become more efficient and far less costly, both in "man-hours" and, ultimately, dollars. There is no need to visit every lock to delete the details of a lost electronic key, the Salto SVN manages that for you, and with the Quick Change Core cylinder, restricting access for lost mechanical keys is fast and efficient.

The unique combination of the e-BiLock Mifare enabled mechanical key (or Mifare keycards and fobs) with the patented Salto Virtual Network are central to the IAC solution, not just transferring information about cancelled or deleted keys to locks but transparently collecting audit trail information about where key holders have been, or tried to go, updating individual access profiles and monitoring battery levels, so you know (rather than have to guess) when batteries will need to be replaced. All of this without having to run expensive wiring to every door!

With many thousands of installations for prestigious clients worldwide, both BiLock and Salto have earned a reputation for providing high quality, low maintenance security solutions; now, with the e-BiLock IAC solution you can enjoy the best of both worlds.

Truly the best of both worlds … where electronic access meets mechanical ingenuity!



SALTO launch new hotel lock




AElement is a new RFID hotel lock from SALTO Systems that provides an enhanced guest experience using on-line wireless technology.

Developed specifically for the hotel market, AElement allows you to integrate all your physical security needs into one stylish, energy efficient, reliable wire-free system. It enables hoteliers to control the security of their entire building, grant access privileges to individual rooms and gather audit trail data from every door – all without leaving the front desk.

And thanks to SALTO’s new wireless DNA technology, you no longer have to choose between the on-line and off-line world. All AElement locks are designed to be wireless ready right out of the box, users simply choose whether the functionality is activated or not.

All you need to do is choose the mode of operation you want “Wireless on-line” or “Wireless ready”. If you choose “Wireless on-line” your locks are on-line and communicate in real time with the server. This gives you real time control over the entire property. If you chose “Wireless ready”, your locks communicate with the server daily on differed-time communication mode. Wireless ready locks can be “switched” to real time “Wireless on-line mode” at any time. Just plug in the USB-sized RF communication antenna and you are ready to go.

The backbone of the system is a series of gateways and repeaters that act as antennas, collecting and sending information from the computer server directly to the wireless locks. One gateway can manage several electronic locks as well as repeaters, minimizing infrastructure costs and maximizing flexibility.

It operates on a 2.4GHz wireless network over an 802.15.4 protocol and works with every popular mainstream RFID technology such as Mifare and DESfire, the latest versions of Mifare Plus and DESfire EV1, as well as with standard low cost hotel guest cards. And thanks to its automated “self healing” capabilities plus SALTO patented SVN™ network redundancy, if AElement should lose RF connection at any time it will automatically scan for a new connection to an alternative gateway or repeater, restoring communication and maintaining security.

Advanced security and convenient access management are its core values enabling simple management of guest cards and doors as well as staff cards and back of house doors in a single system. AElement also features a wide range of advanced and innovative hotel management benefits including instant room move and instant extended stay abilities as well as lost card cancellation, intrusion alarm, door ajar alarm, remote opening, real time audit trail, passage mode activation for meeting rooms and automated low battery reporting.

For staff management it can provide on-line staff tracking, real time monitoring, dynamic master key functionality and instant master card cancellation. All master cards are uniquely assigned to the specific individual, and have no limitations to how a locking plan is conceived. The card does not need to belong to a group and you can also centrally authorize any card at random and list doors or zones with no need for grouping.

There is also no need to issue and collect staff cards every day. Staff cards can be programmed not to work at night (outside their individual time shift) and can be centrally cancelled at will at a moments notice, and changes to the locking schedule can be made on the fly, with no need to manually re-program locks or re-issue cards.

But AElement also has more to offer. Not only is it a secure, easy to use access control system that’s packed with technology, it’s also an elegant piece of design too.

The minimalistic design of its RFID reader looks stylish and discreet on any door. It is available in two contemporary colours, Pearl Black and Ice White, and can be combined with a wide range of designer handles, including a selection from Italian manufacturer Olivari exclusive to SALTO.

Simply select the type of mortise lock and colour finish you want, the colour of door it will be used on, the reader colour, and finally handle design and colour finish. The finished result is pictorially displayed, enabling you to create the perfect combination of style, colour and design for any hotel environment.
