The NOVA.16 by Secura Key is a multi-reader access control panel system that eliminates cable home runs from individual doors. Based on its powerful 32-bit RISC processor, the NOVA.16 takes the RISC's strengths and boosts them with major upgrades to Secura Key’s innovative SK-NET technology. Each panel connects to the local area network using built-in Ethernet connection. It also connects to a high speed, RS485 peripheral network that supports up to 16 Smart Readers, each controlling a single door or gate.
