Acre Launches Bridge Hardware Connector

Acre has introduced Acre Bridge, a hardware connector designed to link existing on-premise access control systems to the cloud without requiring organizations to replace their current infrastructure.

The purpose-built solution connects directly to third-party physical access control system hardware, synchronizing cardholder and event data while maintaining day-to-day operations during the migration process. The approach allows security teams to modernize system management and begin transitioning to Acre Access Control at a pace aligned with their operational environment.

By leveraging existing hardware, Acre Bridge is positioned to help organizations limit additional equipment costs, streamline system transitions and reduce deployment timelines. The company describes the offering as providing a supported pathway from legacy infrastructure to a cloud-ready access control environment.
