I’m not a lock guy, but I was in a meeting where our ASSA reseller said that the power-only cabling for the PoE locks is much more reliable than the old stuff. I can’t validate the accuracy of that statement, but our lock guys have seen and evaluated it and they seem to have more confidence in it.

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).

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.
