  • Brivo introduces Schlage XE360 lock for 70% cheaper cloud-native security at GSX show.
  • XE360 locks provide 24/7 connectivity, reducing costs and complexity of access control.
  • Schlage XE360 enables real-time management of all facility doors via existing Wi-Fi.

Brivo, an esteemed name in AI-driven, cloud-native physical security solutions, has introduced the Schlage® XE360™ Series equipped with RealSync™ lock to its Brivo Security Suite. This latest offering promises round-the-clock Wi-Fi connectivity for commercial doors, potentially reducing costs per door by up to 70% compared to traditional wired systems.

Transitioning electronic access control to secondary or interior doors, which make up about 75% of doors in a typical facility, has often been hindered by financial constraints due to the need for extensive cabling, external power solutions, door controllers, and significant labour. The innovative Schlage® XE360™ Series with RealSync™ diverges from conventional systems by maintaining a constant connection to the cloud through the building's existing Wi-Fi setup. This enables swift execution of remote commands and access updates, typically within 10 seconds.

Key advantages of Schlage® XE360™ series integration

The integration with Brivo's system offers several benefits, such as:

  • Continuous 24/7 connectivity, which allows for immediate remote lock and unlock actions, on-demand access to audit logs, and instant door event alerts, eliminating the delay from interval synchronisations.
  • Efficient infrastructure requirements by connecting over existing Wi-Fi networks, doing away with the necessity for dedicated control panels and complex wiring systems.
  • Substantial cost reductions, making access control economically feasible for all facility doors.
  • FleX Module™ Architecture, which allows for easy upgrades from offline to online locks by changing an internal module.
  • Enhanced battery performance, providing a year-long battery life using standard AA batteries while maintaining network connectivity.
  • Centralised security operations management through the Brivo Security Suite interface, integrating perimeter hardwired openings, wireless interior doors, video intelligence, and visitor management.

Securing interior spaces

This latest offering promises round-the-clock Wi-Fi connectivity for commercial doors

Steve Van Till, Founder and President of Brivo, remarked that the traditional approach to hardwired access control limited which doors security managers could protect, as it did not scale adequately across complete facilities. 

He stated, “The Schlage® XE360™ Series with RealSync™ integrated with the Brivo Security Suite eliminates the cost and infrastructure, making real-time visibility and policy enforcement achievable for every single door opening.” This advancement supports security integrators in approaching security more comprehensively, thereby facilitating the protection of critical internal areas like IT closets, administrative offices, and utility spaces.

Operational advancements for security integrators

Mike Ridgeway, Business Development Manager for Action Security Group Inc. in Canada, described the Brivo-Schlage® XE360™ integration as a significant operational leap forward. Ridgeway noted, “The Schlage® XE360™ Series with RealSync™ gives us a new way to extend enterprise access control to more openings without the infrastructure and complexity traditionally required. For Action Security Group and our customers, it means faster deployment, greater flexibility, and a scalable path to bring more of the facility into the Brivo ecosystem with real-time visibility and control.”

The Brivo integration with the Schlage® XE360™ Series is currently available and will be demonstrated at the GSX show in Atlanta from Sept. 14-16. Visitors are welcomed to visit booth 3525 to experience the demonstration and connect with a Brivo expert.
