Global leader in door opening solutions, ASSA ABLOY (ASSA ABLOY) group will participate in the China International Public Security Expo, showcasing its new and classic door opening solutions, including Aperio wireless access, Verso Cliq wireless key management system, Mediator high-security gated electric lock, and other advanced technical products. Additionally, Codehandle (Smart Handle) and Smart Air (Wireless Access Control) for business offices, along with escape systems integrated with other security systems or fire protection systems, will also be on display.

With the rapid pace of urbanization in China and the enhancement of comprehensive economic strength, the construction of a new wave of urban infrastructure is thriving across the country, particularly in typical commercial projects such as airports, rail transit, hospitals, and high-end star hotels. These projects place stricter demands on building hardware products. The overall role of integrated solutions combining gated hardware and electronic access control security in intelligent buildings is becoming increasingly evident. Meanwhile, advanced technologies like fingerprint, iris, and facial recognition are being applied to various architectural hardware products, making lock products and access control systems ever more intelligent. This also signifies that we are moving toward a new era.

The development of new products and technologies has always been the core competitiveness of the ASSA ABLOY Group. This innovation is not only reflected in the Group's globally leading patent technology but also in its acute market insight and consumer-centric approach. Guided products have become more intelligent and user-friendly, making ASSA ABLOY products more mature and comprehensive, widely used in various civil and commercial projects. The Group's technology and R&D team will firmly grasp the new demands of the industry and present the latest door-opening solutions at this year's Safety Products Expo:

l Aperio™ technology – a new wireless technology independently developed by the Group, revolutionizing the existing real-time access control system architecture. By upgrading the wired access control system to a wireless access control network, it will provide more effective security for both managers and users. The system includes encrypted wireless communication (ZigBee 2.4 GHz), access control system matching interfaces, multiple forms of door opening, and RFID card reading technology. The use of wireless technology to expand and extend existing interconnected access control systems will effectively reduce costs.

l Verso Cliq Wireless Key Management System – a new key management system that combines mechanical and electronic methods. Its unique chip technology and patented key tooth shape better meet user safety requirements; at the same time, the use of software greatly enhances the flexibility of management; and the selection of various lock cylinders and convenient installation also increases the product's applicability.

l Mediator gated electric locks – no worries about building control solutions. Mediator can effectively control the main entrances and exits of buildings and successfully solve the complicated situations within them. At the same time, the user-oriented principle also enables this building solution to meet the needs of complex environments and special situations.

Xiao Yongzhong, President of ASSA ABLOY Greater China Construction Hardware Group (AHG), said: "The Group has always adhered to the core values of product orientation and customer focus. After entering the Chinese market, the Group's dual-brand strategy has enabled many local brands to be reborn. Participating in this expo allows the Group's latest technology and products to be fully showcased, helping us understand the needs of local customers more directly." ASSA ABLOY has established a new engineering innovation center in China, along with national professional testing centers. Various R&D technical teams continue to innovate in technology and products. From January to May 2012, there were 8 patents for new lock cores and smart products. At the same time, the successful application in many domestic engineering cases fully demonstrates the professionalism and extensive application of the Group's products. In the future, ASSA ABLOY will continue to contribute to the development of China's door-opening market.
