Allegion Americas, a company in door hardware, security technology and services, and Brivo, a company in cloud-native unified physical security and smart building technologies, are partnering to deliver a Connected Openings solution. Brivo’s Security Suite now delivers an industry-first solution using a building’s Wi-Fi infrastructure, enabling communication with the Schlage XE360 wireless lock with Real-Time Wi-Fi Flex module. This alliance expands access control capabilities for multi-family, mixed-use, commercial and light commercial properties.

The integration is powered by a cloud-to-cloud development platform, built on Allegion’s IoT framework. This real-time connected Wi-Fi solution offers Brivo, their installing dealer channel and end users access to an expansive Allegion hardware portfolio serving offline, wired and now Connected Openings.

The strategic goal of this alliance is to help reduce door installation costs, as well as identify additional mechanical openings and secure them electronically. For properties with limited or without Wi-Fi services, Brivo’s ecosystem will continue to support offline and wired openings.

“Brivo is committed to delivering a unified, intelligent, and open solution for physical security,” said John Szczygiel, chief operating and revenue officer, Brivo. “By partnering with industry leaders like Allegion, we are excited to extend our open ecosystem, giving customers access to best-in-class solutions like the Schlage XE360. This collaboration amplifies connectivity, provides superior value and reinforces our commitment to offering the best choices on an open platform.” 

Brivo’s development team has worked closely with Allegion’s cloud-to-cloud sales engineering team and has successfully integrated the Schlage XE360 with Real-Time Wi-Fi Flex module into the Brivo ecosystem.
