The EA-BT Bluetooth controller provides wireless control and monitoring of intelligent locks without having to physically connect to a network or install, manage and maintain software. The system features multi-level encryption and simple setup and installation and can read a smartphone from 30 feet away. When combined with any of Southco’s intelligent electronic locking solutions, the controller provides a concealed physical security solution using Bluetooth LE for user access and a remote web portal for credential management and audit trail monitoring. Virtual keys can be assigned and managed with the VIZpin application for a secure, cloud-based platform for remote management of user access to the controller.
