For our new residence buildings we are using the PoE version for power
and communications. The WiFi service for the residence buildings is
provided by a 3rd party so we can't control or manage the RF space or
have a secure SSID/Vlan. The door hinges for PoE are expensive,
unreliable and can't be repaired, just replaced. A better solution is a
Concealed Electrical Power Transfere (CEPT) that can also house a data
cable. Lower cost and easier to repair. The next challenge is the
integration of the locks with Lenel (Access Control) and StaRez
(Residences Management).

Have they talked about how they are going to power the Wi-Fi locks?
There are several options, battery, external low voltage power and
PoE. At Syracuse we have a mixture of all three with the external low
voltage power being the most common. PoE has been discussed and in a
few places installed, but no one (including me) wants to own the cable
going through the door and door frame. 😊While they have PoE rated
hinges they are triple the cost and the support from the vendors has
been less than desirable.

Same locks. We started on dedicated 802.1X SSID, then moved them to
main SSID (is not eduroam here) using VLAN steering to get them into
their own private IP space. They seem to handle PEAP with MS-CHAPv2
quite nicely. No idea on TLS.

Sending out a question as to how you do your wifi that serves your
wireless door locks. Do you have them on your branded wifi/eduroam,
their own SSID, or a shared IoT or infrastructure SSID? Is it a
hidden SSID? Do you have them using a simple PSK or do you onboard it
with a tool like ISE or Clearpass. Do you install a cert?
Our institution has purchased Assa Abloy model IN120 door locks. We
are a Cisco shop and we have ISE, so we could easily onboard using
their Mac Address Bypass device profiling, but that would consume an
expensive license, so perhaps other folks have done something simpler
and found it to work well and to be enough security/segmentation.
