Hi Greg, We have Aperio in place in a few buildings (somewhere around a half dozen now), though it’s at higher density in residences.
No issues with wifi coverage have been reported, and we have 802.11 n/ac(wave1) coverage where they are installed. Usefully, we have residential buildings that are of identical construction and identical in terms of wireless layout, both with and without Aperio so have the ability for direct comparison. We’ve used both cylinders and escutcheons. From our perspective, escutcheons have worked best, though the exact models we’ve used (http://w3.assaabloy.co.uk/index.php?key=produktkatalog&lang=en&c=assaabloyberlin&treeID=165103) don’t feature in the brochure below. For reference, we’re using DESFire card technology. Any further questions, please get in touch.

Haven't seen any recent discussion here about wireless door locks. Our physical access team is looking to install some wireless door locks in an administrative building. I can see it growing past this building pretty rapidly and want to make sure they aren't putting in something that is going to cause us headaches. They are looking to install Aperio "HUB's" as they call them: https://vo-general.s3.amazonaws.com/53aee5c6-9690-4c74-a82a-09f1d0f1ec68/d0vBYdO5QWWKURZqvp0w_AA%20Aperio%20Family%20Brochure.pdf?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJ3YBR5GY2XF7YLGQ&Expires=1582662909&response-content-disposition=inline%3B%20filename%3DAA%20Aperio%20Family%20Brochure.pdf&response-content-type=application%2Fpdf&Signature=920fJFxmRxXi9vkJ7zrIVHZao9o%3D This appears to be using some variant of 802.15.4, which has the ability to run between our 802.11g/n 2.4Ghz channels, but will cause co-channel interference. I'm a bit concerned that there will be some impact to our 2.4Ghz clients (we have a ton of them out there still). Anyone else out there have these or something similar and can speak for how they work and if there are any issues in your environment? --greg Gregory A.
