Reliable and future proof with proven technology

The foundation in a Hi-O system is a data network connecting the devices in the door environment; electric strike, readers, door automatics etc. The network is based on the ISO-standard CAN, established 1995, and used by a huge amount of companies in a variety of industries from ships to cars and even in automatic coffee machines! As it is a widespread standard there are tools available supporting development of CAN devices, as well as software packages for testing, configuration and maintenance of devices.

The reliability benefits from the standard being widespread and proven since many years. As there are a lot of manufacturers of chipsets for CAN networks, the development of locking devices fulfilling the Hi-O standard is easy. The problem with devices from different manufacturers not working together will decrease, as a Hi-O device fulfilling the standard will work on Plug-and-Play basis in a Hi-O system. Right off the shelf.
