What LifeSafety Power does

LifeSafety Power, founded in 2009 and acquired by ASSA ABLOY Group in September 2019, designs and manufactures intelligent power management solutions for access control, intrusion detection, and surveillance systems. Its core technology centers on the FlexPower platform—modular power supplies with embedded microcontrollers, USB/RS-485 programming interfaces, and patented battery management—paired with the NetLink family of network communication modules that enable remote monitoring, health reporting, and SNMP/email alerts. The company pioneered Unified Power (a single-enclosure architecture combining system power, lock power, and access control panels) and ProWire factory-prewired solutions that reduce on-site installation variability, and has expanded into PoE (BiTSTREAM, IEEE 802.3bt), redundant power (Helix), and rackmount form factors for data center and enterprise deployments.

The company sells exclusively through authorized security distributors (ADI Global Distribution, Wesco, Scansource, PSA, and 10+ regional partners) and serves security systems integrators, OEMs, and end-user enterprises across commercial, institutional (education campuses), government, healthcare, finance, and mission-critical infrastructure verticals. Products carry a broad compliance footprint—UL 294, BAA/TAA/BABAA/NDAA, PSE (Japan), CE, BIS (India), ULC (Canada), ISO 14025—and are pre-certified with 15+ access control platforms including Mercury Security, HID, LenelS2, Genetec, Software House, Honeywell, Gallagher, Axis, Napco, and PDK. Revenue derives from hardware sales (power supplies, network modules, prewired enclosures, PoE products, rackmount systems, and accessory boards/components) via a quote-based channel pricing model, with no direct public pricing and no disclosed software-as-a-service revenue stream.

Operating geographies span North America, EMEA, Asia-Pacific (Japan, India, Australia), and select Latin American markets, leveraging ASSA ABLOY's global distribution. The company has maintained continuous product innovation cadence (NetLink NLX in 2020, ProWire XPRESS and BiTSTREAM PoE family in 2020, Helix ATS PDU and Gemini RGX in 2023, B150 step-down converter in 2024, REK Series rackmount debuting at ISC West 2026) and stable leadership under President and CEO Larry Ye.
