Electronic. Flexible. Secure.

ixalo Cylinder | RFID

The ixalo Cylinder | RFID is an electronic profile cylinder with a modular design that can be flexibly adapted to different door situations – ideal for interior and exterior doors as well as for retrofitting in existing buildings. VdS and SKG certified variants meet the highest security requirements. Management is conveniently handled via the BKS KeyManager, allowing individual access rights to be centrally assigned and, if required, time-limited. Optionally, the cylinder is available in a weather-protected version.

Thanks to contactless RFID technology (MIFARE Classic® / DESFire®), long battery life, and a wide range of configuration options – such as panic function or dual-sided reader function – the ixalo Cylinder | RFID offers a future-proof solution for modern access control systems.

ixalo | RFID is individually configured by authorized partners via our MKS system.
