This international award highlights exceptional talent in industrial and product design, showcasing the AC02C's commitment to both functionality and aesthetics.

Exquisite Design Meets Functionality

The AC02C stands out due to its ultra-slim profile, measuring just 137 × 50 × 27 mm.

Users can access systems via RFID cards (MIFARE®), PIN codes, NFC, Bluetooth (BLE), QR codes, and mobile app functionalities. This flexibility allows for seamless implementation across various access scenarios, accommodating the diverse needs of businesses and residential users alike.

Advanced Access Management Features

Beyond basic functionalities, the AC02C supports cloud-based access management and adheres to stringent cybersecurity protocols (REDS). It also holds crucial international certifications, including CE, FCC, and RCM, making it highly compatible with global market demands.
