ISONAS Security Systems, Inc. designs, builds and distributes the first control panel-free, network-based Access Control Security System in the industry. The Company has delivered its systems to customer locations world-wide, with installations in virtually every type of commercial and private sector organization.  Their products cost effectively solve real security problems in their expanding market place.  ISONAS’ products are driven by its Windows-based Crystal Matrix Software™, which facilitates easy integration of their PowerNet™ reader-controllers with other network-based systems.  Headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, USA the company is privately held.

ISONAS PowerNet IP Reader-Controllers™ bundled with Crystal Matrix Software ™ enable authorized security administrators to shift control of enrollment, identification, access control, time and attendance and emergency response from high maintenance panel hardware to flexible, easy-to-use software on the network. In dynamic environments where personnel and events can change quickly, having the real-time control that ISONAS provides means better security.

The Internet and the proliferation of user-friendly, information technology products have made access to information quick and easy. Based on this experience, business people expect their security solutions to provide information in the same immediate way. However, the security industry has been slow to change. The old-fashioned "standard" access control is based on Weigand Technology which requires expensive, high-maintenance control panels to convey information on a time-delay basis. Only IP technology, with direct connection to a company's network, can convey real-time information and provide the searchable data that customers demand for 21st century security.

Old-fashioned access control is dependent on coaxial cable. In fact, the expense of scaling up most access control systems is based on the cost of running cable. If a company's security requirements include running cable to different floors or between separate buildings, the installation alone can become laborious and prohibitive. Since IP access control runs over the Ethernet - the same path as your data network - cabling is minimized while the information flow increases. In fact, with ISONAS' IP system, the doors in facilities in different cities, states or countries can be monitored from one central location utilizing Crystal Matrix Software ™ and the company network. The problem of scalability is a problem no more.

ISONAS has shipped more IP-at-the-Door access control systems worldwide than any company in the industry. Although every company claims to be the “market leader” in their arena, ISONAS is truly the leader. With the recent award of one of the largest access control projects in the US in 2010 – more than 1,000 doors – ISONAS has proven it can meet the challenge of the most complex, demanding access control requirements.
