ASSA ABLOY Unveils Next-Gen IoT Security and Smart Access Solutions at Intersec Dubai 2026

Dubai, January 2026 – In an era where digital connectivity is paramount, organizations worldwide are increasingly recognizing the transformative power of smart access solutions to drive efficiency and enhance operations. At the forefront of this revolution, global access solutions leader ASSA ABLOY is set to showcase its latest innovations at Intersec 2026, held at the Dubai World Trade Centre from January 12–14. Attendees are invited to Sheikh Saeed Hall 2, Stand C43, to experience how digitalization is reshaping security and access management.

Digitalizing access isn’t just about convenience; it’s a strategic imperative that streamlines workloads, slashes costs, fosters collaboration, and maximizes productivity. ASSA ABLOY’s presence at Intersec 2026 will highlight a diverse portfolio of digital access solutions tailored for some of the fastest-growing sectors across the Middle East and beyond, including mission-critical data centers and dynamic multi-residential buildings, all promising a tangible return on investment.

Fortifying the Digital Frontier: Advanced Security for Data Centers

With extensive experience across numerous global projects, ASSA ABLOY has cultivated unparalleled expertise in designing and deploying digital access and security solutions specifically for data centers. Their comprehensive offerings span the entire security spectrum, from perimeter gates and main entrances to high-security doors, sensitive access points, and even individual server racks equipped with real-time digital locks.

Kostis Telelis, SVP & Head of MEIA Region at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions, emphasizes the expanded capabilities: “With the acquisition of Kentix, a German pioneer in IoT monitoring and access control solutions, our physical protection portfolio has significantly widened. We now offer a complete solution suite for data centers, all from a single, trusted supplier. Data center planners and operations teams are discovering unprecedented time savings and enhanced security by partnering with ASSA ABLOY.”

The **KentixONE** digital access platform is a prime example, engineered precisely for the rigorous demands of data center security management. Beyond integrated digital access control, it provides robust monitoring and protection against over 40 physical threats, including fire, power anomalies, and intrusion. Its versatility is underscored by successful implementations at co-located data centers like Heidelberg iT Management GmbH & Co. KG and in securing on-premise servers for major utility providers.

Additionally, ASSA ABLOY will demonstrate its cutting-edge digital access management solution, **Incedo Pro**, alongside a broad array of connected devices. These include the award-winning Aperio locks and sophisticated biometric readers from Control ID, designed to integrate seamlessly into organizations of any scale. The immense value of Aperio wireless lock integration can also be explored at the booths of partners Gallagher, Lenel, and Genetec.

Smart Living: Digital Access for Multi-Residential Properties

Another focal point of ASSA ABLOY’s Intersec 2026 showcase is a comprehensive suite of digital access solutions tailored for multi-residential properties. The innovative **eCLIQ solution** stands out as an advanced digital locking system, replacing cumbersome traditional mechanical keys with secure, programmable, electronic battery-powered keys, cylinders, and padlocks.

This system offers unparalleled benefits: tenants and service staff gain from programmable keys with flexible access rights and schedules. For property managers, electronic revocation eliminates the costly and time-consuming process of cylinder changes, while optional key revalidation introduces an extra layer of security. Intuitive software—accessible locally, online, or via smartphone—empowers site managers with complete control over access rights, openings, and user permissions, anytime, anywhere.

The contemporary eCLIQ devices are designed for seamless integration with the DoorBird IP intercom system for building entrances, and their aesthetic appeal perfectly complements the luxurious door and architectural hardware also available from ASSA ABLOY.

“We are delighted once again to showcase our innovative digital solutions at Intersec,” adds Kostis Telelis. “The discerning audience here—comprising OEMs, system integrators, IT experts, and security professionals from across the Middle East and beyond—is always eager to learn how to maximize the value of their digital access investments, focusing on ROI, flexibility, and controlling total cost of ownership. Intersec remains a pivotal date in our annual calendar.”
