Akuvox’s smart mailbox solution of A08 access control terminal and EC33 controller provided the perfect fit. A08 is installed at the mailbox side for resident authentication and EC33 supports up to 128 relays, with each relay connected to designated mailbox locks to trigger door opening. The mailbox numbers are bound to corresponding apartments and registered access credentials for residents during move-in.
The sleek, compact A08 access control terminal fits tight mailbox areas while matching modern residential aesthetics. Residents authenticate via card, PIN, Bluetooth, and NFC on the A08, instantly triggering their assigned EC33 relay to unlock only their mailbox. Physical keys are eliminated entirely, with permissions securely bound to individual units for maximum security. One A08 is capable of connecting to multiple EC33 controllers via the HTTP protocol, and EC33 expansion boards handle large mailbox banks efficiently. This lean architecture delivers complete functionality at minimal hardware and deployment cost. The mailbox management also becomes easy. Property managers bind mailboxes to apartments during resident move-in and update permissions instantly via a centralized database. No key distribution, lost key handling, or manual tracking—management becomes effortless.
