CURO - 00000393
Description
Curo use Salto Space access control management for the management of electronic door access to residential blocks. These blocks are fitted with either iButton or MIFARE wall readers, which fully integrate with the Salto Space access control platform, allowing Curo to programme Keyfobs from our offices and our residents to securely access their properties.
It has come to Curo's attention that the iButton Keyfobs have become obsolete, resulting in a requirement to decommission the current iButton wall readers at Curo's blocks and to install a replacement system that works seamlessly with the Salto Space access control platform. The iButton system currently installed at Curo blocks are the Salto WRM1000 iButton wall readers.
Curo have approximately 424 access points that currently use the iButton products, which include a mixture of 360 wall readers and 64 fob access handlesets over 83 sites and 1842 customers. Although these numbers are subject to change. Sites are located across Bath, Bristol and the surrounding areas.
A programme that includes the decommissioning and disposal of the current iButton assets and the supply, installation and commissioning of a replacement solution would therefore be required.
Whichever product Curo procure must be fully compatible with Salto Space allowing Curo to programme wall readers and Keyfobs easily and securely. In addition to the iButton Curo maintain a large portfolio of MIFARE wall readers and would be keen to standardise the technology across our blocks.
