Smart security systems that protect residential communities are features that should be accessible to residents of all income brackets, according to Sandy Jack, Assa Abloy's VP of strategic relations.

Jack made the comments during her recent spot on Beyond the Cable with Brad Randall, a Broadband Communities podcast.

"I think that the people that are most underserved, which would be the working force, workforce housing, student housing, those are the folks that really need it more," she said.

Nowadays, peace of mind like that offered by Vingcard, an electronic lock and safety security system solution offered under Assa Abloy's umbrella, is essential to ensure happy and safe living environments in hotels and multifamily properties, Jack says.

"When you think about the night nurse that comes home at 3 in the morning, can we make sure that she is safe and secure?" Jack asked. "The police officer that has to go out to our neighborhoods but leave their family alone, how are they safe and secure?"
