How Do Ascent Summit Control Access Control Systems Work?
What Is Ascent?
Ascent is a line of cellular access control systems designed and manufactured by Secure Brands Inc. The Ascent family of products is powered by integrated Summit Control, which allows you to interconnect all your Ascent units to create a large network of systems and manage them from your phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop.
What is Summit Control?
Summit Control is a cloud-based administration and control software integrated into every Ascent unit. This innovative software gives you superior control, automatically updates the latest software, and is user-friendly. Summit Control securely handles communication between all your Ascent units. Set up a Summit Control account online or through the app and add all your units using their serial and SIM card numbers. Like a phone plan, you add each unit to your account and pay for a plan. Plan payments depend on the application, number of units, users, and other comparable features.
