What's the difference between EntraPass Special, Corporate, and Global?

Special Edition handles 1-4 doors — for small deployments, standalone buildings, or single-tenant facilities. Corporate Edition handles 5-128 doors — the mid-market standard for commercial office buildings, schools, and healthcare facilities. Global Edition is enterprise multi-site — thousands of doors across dozens of sites with centralized cardholder management, global alarm monitoring, and multi-server architecture. Most deployments start with Corporate; Global is specified for enterprise from day one.

Is Kantech a good choice for enterprise-scale access control?

For mid-market enterprise (100-500 doors), yes — EntraPass Corporate or Global with KT-400 hardware is cost-effective and reliable. For true enterprise (500-1,000+ doors), Lenel OnGuard or Genetec Synergis Enterprise have deeper feature depth, more extensive third-party integrations, and broader federal/critical-infrastructure adoption. Evaluate based on deployment size and integration requirements.

Does Kantech work with HID proximity cards?

Yes. Kantech ioProx 125 kHz readers work with HID proximity credentials, and ioSmart OSDP readers work with HID iCLASS, iCLASS SE, DESFire EV2, MIFARE, and most enterprise smart card platforms. For organizations with existing HID card inventories, Kantech controllers drop in as replacements for aging panels without re-issuing credentials.

Is Kantech owned by Johnson Controls?

Yes. Kantech is a subsidiary of Johnson Controls since the 2014 Tyco International merger. Johnson Controls provides long-term roadmap stability, integration with Software House iStar (enterprise access control), American Dynamics VideoEdge (VMS), and Tyco DSC (intrusion) — positioning Kantech as the mid-market option in a broader Johnson Controls physical security portfolio.

What is the KT-400 four-door controller's advantage?

KT-400 handles four doors from a single controller — which means one panel footprint, one network drop, and one power supply for four-door zones. For buildings with 50-500 doors, this reduces installation cost, panel count, and wiring complexity significantly. Single-door KT-1 controllers are still appropriate for scattered single-door retrofits or buildings with low door density per floor.

Does Kantech support elevator destination control?

Yes. EntraPass Corporate and Global editions support elevator destination control integration — cardholder card presentation at the lobby triggers a specific elevator dispatch to the cardholder's authorized floor. This is a common mid-market feature for commercial office buildings and multi-tenant residential.

About Kantech

Kantech (Kantech Systems), now a part of Johnson Controls, manufactures commercial access control hardware from its Quebec, Canada engineering and manufacturing facility. The Kantech catalog is organized around three core product lines: KT-series IP door controllers (KT-1 single door, KT-2 two door, KT-400 four door — with KT-1 and KT-2 sharing the modern IP-first architecture and KT-400 covering higher-density deployments), ioSmart and ioProx proximity reader families (125 kHz proximity readers plus HID-compatible smart card readers for OSDP deployments), and the EntraPass software platform (Special Edition for 1-4 door deployments, Corporate Edition for mid-market 5-128 doors, and Global Edition for enterprise multi-site with thousands of doors).

Kantech's market position is mid-market commercial access control — buildings with 10-200 doors where the Lenel S2 or Genetec Synergis enterprise platforms are overbuilt and expensive, but simple standalone panels are inadequate. EntraPass Corporate Edition with KT-400 four-door controllers is a common mid-market specification — full badge management, photo ID, alarm integration, elevator control, and CCTV integration at a price point significantly below enterprise platforms.

Kantech integrates with Johnson Controls' broader physical security portfolio (Software House iStar for enterprise, American Dynamics VideoEdge for VMS, Tyco DSC for intrusion) plus third-party VMS and video (Milestone XProtect, Avigilon ACC, Exacq Vision), access control credentials (HID proximity and smart cards, DESFire EV2, MIFARE), and elevator control for multi-floor access workflows.

Where Kantech Fits

Kantech fits every mid-market commercial access control deployment where Lenel S2 or Genetec Synergis are overbuilt but standalone door panels are inadequate. Typical use cases include commercial office buildings (10-200 doors with EntraPass Corporate), K-12 schools (multi-building campus with EntraPass Global), healthcare facilities (nurse station access, pharmacy security, HIPAA workflow integration), multi-tenant commercial (shared access control for multi-tenant buildings with per-tenant cardholder management), and government buildings (EntraPass Global with FIPS 201-compliant card credentials). Kantech is not the right choice for enterprise deployments above 500-1,000 doors (Lenel OnGuard or Genetec Synergis Enterprise more appropriate) or high-security federal deployments (HID VertX or Mercury Security preferred by federal GSA integrators).

Why Choose Kantech

Mid-Market Price Position

EntraPass + KT-series hardware delivers full-feature access control at significantly lower TCO than Lenel S2 or Genetec Synergis for mid-market deployments.

Johnson Controls Backing

Johnson Controls acquisition provides long-term roadmap stability and integration with Software House iStar, American Dynamics VideoEdge, and Tyco DSC.

KT-400 Door Density Economics

Four-door controller footprint significantly reduces panel cost for 100+ door buildings — one KT-400 replaces four single-door panels.

ioSmart OSDP Encryption

OSDP-compatible smart card readers with encrypted wire-level communication — meets modern access control cybersecurity best practices.
