DNAKE's AC02C Access Control Terminal Wins Gold at French Design Award 2025
In an impressive recognition of outstanding design, the DNAKE AC02C Access Control Terminal has clinched the prestigious Gold Medal at the French Design Award 2025. This award celebrates the pinnacle of industrial and product design excellence on a global scale. The AC02C model stands out not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its exceptional functionality tailored to meet modern demands.
Design and Aesthetics
The AC02C is distinguished by its ultra-slim, post-mounted design, making it a perfect fit for contemporary residential and commercial environments. Its minimalistic aesthetic seamlessly integrates with various settings, ensuring that security systems do not detract from the building's interior or architectural elegance. With dimensions of 137 × 50 × 27 mm, the terminal features a sleek aluminium housing paired with a 2.5D tempered glass front, designed for space-constrained installations such as door frames and elevator lobbies.
Durability and Reliability
Crafted for longevity, the AC02C boasts an IP65 rating for water and dust protection and an IK08 rating for impact resistance, ensuring stable operations in both outdoor and semi-outdoor conditions. This durability is essential for environments where reliability is critical, such as office buildings or residential complexes.
Multifunctional Capabilities
Despite its compact size, the AC02C incorporates multiple authentication methods in one user-friendly terminal. It supports RFID cards (MIFARE®), PIN codes, NFC, Bluetooth (BLE), QR codes, and mobile app access, allowing flexibility across various access scenarios. Furthermore, it features cloud-based access management, meeting stringent RED cybersecurity standards and equipped with crucial international certifications like CE, FCC, and RCM, validating its suitability for global markets.
Configurable Features
The AC02C is not just about access control. It offers a range of configurable functions that can be activated based on specific project needs:
- - Elevator control, enabling automated calls and temporary QR-based access.
- - Attendance tracking that syncs with third-party systems.
- - Scheduled access rules for security management outside regular business hours.
- - Integration with video management systems that allow real-time visual monitoring.
These features facilitate a smarter and more efficient approach to building security management, benefitting property owners, installers, and developers alike.
Target Applications
Designed for both residential and commercial properties, the AC02C harmonizes minimalist design with robust long-term performance. With a continued focus on practical applications, system sustainability, and ecosystem integration, DNAKE ensures that their products deliver added value to users.
