Encrypted radio: why it is becoming an essential standard for securing access

Ever-increasing safety standards and requirements

Gate automation systems are subject to strict regulatory requirements, particularly through European standards governing safety of use and personal protection.

At the same time, the European RED directive imposes high requirements regarding the reliability and security of radio transmissions.

Recently, the European Union has also strengthened cybersecurity requirements for radio equipment in order to limit the risks of hacking and intrusion into connected systems.

These developments are gradually pushing manufacturers and installers towards highly secure radio technologies.

The limitations of fixed-code remote controls

Traditional radio systems today have several major weaknesses:

• Possible duplication of radio signals
• Interception of transmissions
• Vulnerability to intrusion attempts
• Difficulty in meeting new cybersecurity requirements

In this context, encrypted rolling-code radio is becoming an essential technical standard.

AES128: a level of security used by the most sensitive sectors

To ensure maximum protection, radioPrastel solutions feature AES128 encryption.

This encryption technology is now used in sectors where security is critical:

• Professional alarm systems
• Banking transactions
• Secure digital infrastructure
• Government and industrial communications

AES128 encryption is based on an algorithm recognized worldwide for its robustness and resistance to hacking attempts.

It generates unique codes that cannot be reproduced, ensuring maximum protection against copying or interception of remote controls.

Encrypted radio solutions Prastel

In order to meet current and future challenges in access security, Prastel develops radio solutions incorporating AES128 encryption.

Transmitters SLIM2E+ and SLIM+

Prastel remote controls offer:

• High-security AES128 encryption
• Rolling code preventing duplication
• Reliable and secure radio transmission
• Compact and robust design
• Compatibility with numerous installations

Receivers MRMINI2E

The associated receivers enable:

• Secure management of encrypted radio access
• Simple installation on many motorized systems
• Quick integration into existing systems
• Optimization of overall automation security

Anticipating tomorrow's requirements

Changes in European regulations and the growing importance of cybersecurity issues are clearly steering the market toward secure radio solutions.

Choosing AES128 encrypted radio equipment means:

✔ Anticipate future regulatory requirements
✔ Provide long-term protection for installations
✔ Secure residential, commercial, and industrial access
✔ Guarantee system reliability over time

Safety is not an accessory

On the market, some remote controls labeled as "compatible" or "copying" may seem attractive in the short term.

However, these solutions often have major security flaws and can expose facilities to significant risks.

👉 When it comes to access control, the price of a remote control should never take precedence over security.

Don't buy a cheap remote control.
Choose a secure solution that can protect your installations in the long term... and avoid losses that can be very costly.
