Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Wireless Door lock systems

We have Stanley wireless locks in two dorms (802.15.4 not 802.11) . One dorm things worked very well in and the other was a bit of a nightmare. We had issues with interference especially from student wireless devices especially Zigbee devices. The locks dropped offline and batteries died

We're using the Assa Abloy IN120 Wi-Fi locks. We haven't been using them long enough to get a good idea on battery life, but a number of them have been dying faster than expected, but better monitoring has helped to minimize the problems from that. Personally I would not use these locks in

We have a small deployment of Stanley locks for special needs students; they aren't 802.11 wireless, but are 802.15.4 (on 2.4GHz) wireless. I only bring this up as it uses dedicated Stanly gateways, and we had to work to minimize the cross-interference between the two systems. Thomas Carter
