The AC series also meets a variety of code and regulatory standards such as UL Listing, and NDAA and TAA compliance

“The addition of the AC Series is a natural fit for Aiphone,” said Brad Kamcheff, marketing manager for Aiphone Corp. “It’s an access system built to solve problems with creative hardware and software solutions, just like our intercoms."

"We are often asked to recommend an access control line to integrate with our intercom systems. Now, when we get asked this question, we will be able to offer a system backed with the quality and integration of the Aiphone brand: the AC Series.” The AC series also meets a variety of code and regulatory standards such as UL Listing, and NDAA and TAA compliance, making it an ideal solution for government buildings, schools, and healthcare facilities. The AC Series is highly scalable from a single door to thousands of doors.
