Salto\\u2019s Colin DePree says the pandemic has fueled the adoption of
apartment technologies, like electronic access systems, in class-B and class-C buildings.
Electronic access control manufacturer Salto has seen an increase in demand since the start of the pandemic. Apartment owners are
flocking to new technologies to help boost health and wellness and to propel and expand sustainability efforts. Electronic access control
systems are an easy fit because they offer keyless entry into units\\u2014especially useful for new move-ins and apartment tours during social distancing restrictions. As a result, these systems are becoming standardized across the apartment spectrum, including class-B and class-C properties.
To find out more about this technology and why the pandemic has fueled adoption, we sat down with Colin DePree, the residential business leader at Salto, for our latest episode in the Multifamily

DePree also explains that these aren\\u2019t trends born during the pandemic, but rather an acceleration of trends that were already
