Genetec launches the second generation of Synergis Cloud Link

The new IoT gateway connected by PoE from Genetec, Synergis Cloud Link helps break free from proprietary access control systems, and includes more features, increased cybersecurity and future-proof security facilities.

Genetec has developed a new generation of the solution Synergis Cloud Link, the IoT gateway connected by PoE for access control.

New development responds to growing demand for non-proprietary access control solutions and provides a safe and secure gateway for a cloud or hybrid deployment.

When updating a security system, Synergis Cloud Link's open architecture allows you to leverage existing access control infrastructure and move to an IP solution. It also offers a more efficient approach to multisite deployments and eliminates the need for on-premises servers., reducing ownership costs.

The Synergis Cloud Link IoT gateway has built-in features that keep access control active even when the connection to the server is interrupted.

Synergis Cloud Link also offers greater cybersecurity thanks to user data encryption, to secure boot and an element with EAL6+ standard that stores cryptographic elements.

“Our new generation of Synergis Cloud Link allows us to provide a powerful gateway, safe and smart for the latest technologies, enabling easy connection to hybrid or cloud access control environments and limiting security investments, including hardware, cabling and infrastructure, explains Thibault Louvet, Genetec Access Control Product Manager

The device is compatible with non-proprietary access control modules from most established manufacturers, including HID Global, Axis Communications, Assa Abloy, Mercury Security, Allegion, SimonsVoss y STid, inter alia.

A single Synergis Cloud Link device is capable of supporting up to 256 electronic readers and locks, 600.000 card holders, 150.000 offline events, as well as monitoring hundreds of zones and alarms.

Synergis Cloud Link also features a new firmware design that improves reliability, lifecycle management, and upgrades..
