BlueWave Security provides end-to-end, IP-based physical access control solutions that deliver BOTH traditional electronic access control (EAC) and Wi-Fi-enabled, stand-alone battery-operated locksets in one integrated package.

Each door in a BlueWave system connects to the IP network using either the Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) or Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11) standards.

The BlueView Professional application software can manage a single door, or scale to large enterprise deployments with multiple administrators, hundreds of doors and thousands of users in multiple locations.

STAND-ALONE BATTERY OPERATED LOCKS 

• Advantages - Easy to install and typically less expensive than panel-based systems.
• Disadvantages - The total cost of ownership dramatically increases as more and more locks are deployed. No real-time audit trail or central management: adding or deleting a user must be done physically at each door.

PANEL-BASED SYSTEMS

• Advantages - Panel-based systems provide great flexibility in the choice of credential readers and locking mechanisms.  In some cases they provide real-time audit information.
• Disadvantages - Expensive to install. Uses single-purpose, proprietary networks. Administrators must trust a single vendor to ensure the integrity and security of the solution. Users get locked into proprietary network management tools and door hardware.

THE BLUEWAVE ADVANTAGE

• NetGen IP Door Controllers – All of the features of panel-based systems without the use of panels or proprietary networks.
• Wi-Fi-Enabled, Stand-Alone Locks - Central management over the IP network at a substantially reduced cost.
