Education

School campuses need to be safe. They must operate in a culture of trust. When parents send their children to school, they need to trust that their loved ones will be secure in the school’s care. Teachers and staff must trust they are in a workplace where they can put all their focus into delivering educational outcomes.

SALTO has helped hundreds of schools become safer and more secure with electronic access control. Our solutions are designed for the needs of schools - with a range of mix-and-match options to suit every environment and budget. There are a wide range of credentials available including cards, fobs, wristbands and even the user’s smart phone.

SVN uses its patented ‘data on card’ technology to create a ‘virtual network’, where the key card becomes a data carrier as users move through the building. The building needs a few online access points (usually at widely used spots, such as a car park barrier or main door), which downloads the full access list to every user’s card in real-time.

When the user accesses a stand-alone door, the door queries whether the user can open that door and at the same time writes that user’s audit and the battery status of that lock to the card. This allows a school to manage costs by fitting the majority of doors with stand-alone locks for situations where ‘almost real-time’ will meet their needs.

For situations that need ‘real-time’ (not ‘almost real-time’) SALTO can add Bluetooth gateways that update the lock from the SALTO server. The locks update, store and send the latest access information from the user’s smart keys throughout the building wirelessly and remotely. BLUENet can be used throughout a campus, or in just those parts that need it (with SVN in the rest).

Harnessing the power and flexibility of mobile technology, the JustIN Mobile app turns the user’s phone into their credential. The key is sent directly to their phone, and the app sends access data back to the SALTO server.
