Integration of Schlage XE360 into Brivo Ecosystem Increases Flexibility and Connectivity for Multi-Family and Mixed-Use Properties
Brivo, a leader in cloud-native security solutions, has joined forces with Allegion Americas to bring forth a revolutionary Connected Openings solution. This progressive collaboration leverages Brivo's Security Suite and Allegion's Schlage XE360 wireless lock to create an integrated access control experience for various properties, including multi-family homes, mixed-use developments, and commercial venues.
Connecting Through Innovation
The heart of this integration is a sophisticated cloud-to-cloud development platform based on Allegion's IoT framework. This platform facilitates seamless, real-time connectivity, allowing the Schlage XE360 lock to work effortlessly over existing Wi-Fi networks.

A standout benefit is the potential for significant cost savings on door installations. Furthermore, this partnership aims to enhance security by enabling properties to secure previously mechanical openings electronically.
