Allegion US announced that the Schlage MTB mobile-enabled multi-technology readers have been tested and verified to meet the Security Industry Association (SIA) Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) communications standard for access control security and interoperability. The distinguished OSDP Verified mark confirms the range’s higher security, interoperability and advanced functionality, which instills confidence in integrators, specifiers and practitioners that OSDP devices will work as intended for various types of access control uses.
“Allegion is a longtime advocate of OSDP standards, and we are proud to add the Schlage MTB readers to the list of OSDP Verified products,” says Devin Love, director of commercial software and electronic products. “As more hardware and software manufacturers adopt an open architecture, the power of access control systems increases exponentially. The OSDP verification assures security professionals that these products provide the high level of security and interoperability required in a variety of use cases.”
- Increased interoperability: Enables communication among different manufacturers’ devices and solutions.
- Higher security: Offers more security than most common access control communications protocol and supports high-end AES-128 encryption.
- Ease of use: Eliminates guesswork, because encryption and authentication are predefined.
