Security intelligence at the edge

If you look at the evolution of mobile phones, it is not difficult to see the mega trend of intelligence. We use mobile phones not just for receiving phone calls. As our mobile phones get smarter, we are able to receive emails, watch videos, listen to music, and do multiple jobs with/on our phones. That is the so-called “intelligence at the edge,” said Jason Tan, Regional Sales Manager for Southeast Asia at Tyco Security Products. Traditionally, an edge device refers to the device that is farthest from the server (heart of the system).

With the new Tyco emerald, users can expect that card readers are not just for opening and closing doors. “We are seeing more information moving to edge devices [at the door]. A card reader is no longer a deadbolt. It will allow immediate access to up-to-date security information at the door and the applications to modify it — fully pushing intelligence directly to the edge,” Tan elaborated.

Possible applications and benefits include:
* Greater convenience & business tool
* Optimization of daily operations
* Adjustable security levels, with an integrated VoIP intercom and scramble keypad
* Enhanced energy savings & product lifecycle
