i-coder, the new TESA Hotel proximity editor

TESA ASSA ABLOY launches its new TCP/IP Proximity Editor, which brings greater convenience and versatility to the hospitality buildings thanks to its new functionalities. The main advantage of i-coder is that it offers the possibility of connection to the LAN network via Ethernet, which means it is possible to communicate with it without having to connect it to a PC via USB (although it also includes USB connectivity), connecting it directly to the network. In addition, Ethernet communications allow a more secure and encrypted exchange of information (DTLS v1.2 / AES 128) between the editor and the TESA Hotel management software. It also offers PoE power through the network cable itself, if the installation’s Ethernet switch includes this.

The new desktop proximity i-coder reads, encodes and erases the information for the RFID credentials of both guests and hotel staff (key cards, key rings, bracelets, etc.) in the TESA Hotel system. With this new editor, the TESA Hotel system allows all operations to be carried out with the web manager, with no need to install any software. With i-coder and from any computer with a network connection or even from the Internet, the reception or hotel management staff can record or read the proximity credentials without needing to have the TESA Hotel software installed on the terminal from which they are operating (PC, laptop, tablet or even a smartphone).
