Salto KS
Cloud-based smart access control solution with best-in-class real-time capabilities.
University of Nebraska, Alpha Phi Sorority
Location: Lincoln - USA
Project type: Residential
Alpha Phi International Women’s Fraternity is a sorority with 170 active chapters and over 200,000 initiated members. The Alpha Phi chapter at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) was founded in October 1906 and is the thirteenth chapter of Alpha Phi internationally.
The historic Alpha Phi sorority house at UNL underwent a major remodeling project in 2015, which involved the foyer, study room, the upstairs living room, and both downstairs living rooms. All upstairs bedrooms were refurbished, painted, and carpeted a few years prior.
In 2018, a leadership committed to an upgrade in security as well, choosing to replace their existing keypad system with SALTO XS4 electronic locks managed via the SALTO KS cloud-based platform.
Alpha Phi at UNL needed an access control system with the functionality of card access but was also affordable and didn’t require additional infrastructure investment like a server or other network equipment, said Engineered Controls Lead Security Technician Rusty Hanley.
Engineered Controls chose Salto XS4 electronic locks for all house entrances. Smart, secure and innovative, XS4 electronic escutcheon sets need no hard wiring and provide a totally wire-free networked electronic locking solution with a great range of features and technology.
Salto KS allows the Alpha Phi Sorority to:
- Upgrade to a solution that is reliable, easy to manage, and provides additional security over the existing keypad system
- Gain access through mobile smartphones
- Enjoy keyless entry, as well as remote management and monitoring of lock and user activity
