Paxton set to launch game-changing new system

April 2026 Access Control & Identity Management, News & Events

This April, Paxton will launch Solo, a brand-new access control system designed to transform how installers and end users manage security. Developed by Paxton technology specialists, the system is phone-based and cloud-hosted, marking the beginning of a new era in access control.

Adam Stroud, Paxton’s CEO, explains, “We are always exploring how evolving technology can help Paxton installers and customers. By starting with a blank sheet of paper and looking at the technology available today, we have developed something truly game-changing. It is simple, elegant, and a practical solution that will open new possibilities in access control. April marks the start of a new era, and we cannot wait for installers to see what is possible.”

Access control is evolving fast. Installers and end users are looking for systems that are simple to install, easy to manage remotely, and flexible enough to scale. Mobile credentials are on the rise, and security expectations remain higher than ever.

In response, Paxton has been exploring how emerging technologies can reshape access control for the modern world and is set to deliver its biggest technology year yet.
