Cloud-managed access control using Cloud Node head-end hardware and scalable Red-series door, gate and auxiliary controllers.
Products and selection guidance
The Red Cloud Node connects pdk.io to field controllers and maintains local data for uninterrupted access. Red controller choices include one-, two-, four-, eight-door, gate, pedestal, auxiliary and customizable models. Legacy io controllers require lifecycle/migration planning rather than being described as current Red hardware.
- pdk.io cloud software and Red Cloud Node
- Red 1/2/4/8 and Red Max controller sizing
- Red Gate, Pedestal and Aux 8 specialty control
- Legacy Single/Eight/Gate/Pedestal io migration
- Door, lock, free-egress, accessibility and fire-alarm requirements
- Network, power, standby battery and outage behavior
- Current licenses, subscriptions, firmware and integrations
- Administrator training, backup, documentation and maintenance
Site-specific design
Boston High Tech inventories existing equipment and validates current manufacturer compatibility before specifying reuse, migration or replacement. Qualifications may be confirmed privately when needed; license numbers, certificate copies and named certificate-holder details are not published.

How to compare and specify this product family
For ProdataKey pdk.io, Cloud Node and Red Controllers, the right model and architecture depend on the site, existing infrastructure and operating policy. A proposal should clearly document the following access-control system decisions before equipment is ordered:
- Number and type of controlled openings
- Controller, reader, lock and credential compatibility
- Cloud or on-premise administration and ownership
- Offline behavior, backup power and emergency operation
- Directory, HR, video, visitor and elevator integrations
- Licensing, cybersecurity, training and lifecycle support
Installation, testing and handoff
A site survey records each opening, door hardware, cable path, power, network, credential policy and integration requirement. The design then maps readers, controllers, locks, inputs, outputs and administrator roles to the operational workflow. Commissioning includes door-by-door functional tests, failure-mode and backup-power checks, permission and schedule tests, event verification, administrator training and as-built documentation. Product availability, subscriptions and supported integrations are confirmed for the current project before procurement.

Official ProdataKey software, firmware and support
Use the manufacturer links below for current software, firmware, release notes, manuals and technical resources. Boston High Tech links directly to official manufacturer portals and does not copy or host firmware files.
Before installing an update: verify the exact model, region, hardware revision, current version, required intermediate releases, licensing or support entitlement, backup and rollback plan, integrations and maintenance window. An incorrect firmware package or upgrade sequence can interrupt service, invalidate compatibility or prevent a downgrade. Coordinate updates for monitored, life-safety-adjacent or business-critical systems with the system administrator and an authorized specialist.
Some resources require a customer, dealer, certified-technician or active-support login. Cloud-managed products may update automatically and may not provide a public firmware file.
