Overview
The Verkada AW33 is a PoE-powered access controller built for Verkada wireless lock deployments. It combines an access controller and a VLink wireless hub in a single device, so AL54 wireless locks connect straight to the controller with no separate hub to wire in — lower hardware and installation cost, and a simpler rollout. One AW33 supports up to 16 locks within 150 feet in standard environments, and includes a built-in backup battery and LTE cellular backup so doors keep working through power and network outages.
- Integrated VLink wireless hub for up to 16 AL54-CY and AL54-MS locks
- Built-in rechargeable battery: roughly a day of operation on backup power
- Built-in CAT 4 LTE modem with Verkada SIM for network backup (add-on cellular license required)
- Optional ACC-WH-ANT-1 directional antenna extends range 2–2.5x toward a distant door
- Managed from Verkada Command with automatic firmware updates
- Licensed per door, like every Verkada access controller
- 10-year warranty
