Videx has become a member of TSA, the representative body for the technology-enabled care sector.

The membership will support our work with housing providers, installers, distributors and specification partners where door entry and access control form part of wider building safety, communication and resident management systems.

TSA works with organisations across the technology-enabled care sector, including service providers, suppliers, housing bodies, local authorities and health and care organisations. Its members help influence discussion around how digital and connected systems can support people to live safely and independently.

For Videx, the membership reflects the growing role of door entry in housing, supported living, retirement living and multi-occupancy schemes.

Door entry is often viewed as a building access product, but in many housing and care settings it has a wider role. It affects how residents receive visitors, how carers and staff gain access, how contractors and services are managed, and how building operators balance security with ease of use.

Rob Sands, our Technical Director, said: “Door entry is a key part of how people interact with a building every day. In housing and supported living environments, it is not just about allowing someone through a door. It is about making access secure, reliable and manageable for residents, carers, staff and visitors.

“As more organisations look at digital systems, connectivity and long-term maintenance, access control needs to be part of that conversation from the start. Different buildings have different users, and residents may need different ways to communicate or gain access. That is where good planning and the right system choice are key.”

“We work closely with installers, distributors and housing partners, so we see how important it is that systems are straightforward to install, manage and maintain. Joining TSA gives us another route to share that experience and understand the priorities of the wider technology-enabled care sector.”

At Videx , we are committed to delivering reliable, future-ready access control systems for installers and end users.

As part of that commitment, we have partnered with CSL to integrate CSL’s SIMs across our GSM product portfolio including door entry, single-entrance installations and larger multi-apartment developments.

CSL’s SIMs are available for the UK’s main operator networks and are supported by CSL’s industry leading technical back up, enabling monitoring and control of deployed connections. By embedding this capability within its GSM range, Videx aims to reduce the risk of network related issues while simplifying activation and ongoing support for installation partners.

Supporting installers with managed connectivity

By embedding CSL’s managed SIMs within our GSM range, we are simplifying activation and ongoing support for our installation partners. Installers benefit from:

• CSL connectivity designed to maintain uptime
• Streamlined commissioning and configuration
• Technical support covering both Videx hardware and CSL connectivity

As mobile network infrastructure continues to evolve, this integrated approach ensures our GSM systems remain aligned with current and future connectivity requirements.

Dan Kennerley, Head of Sales & Business Development at Videx, said: “Deploying CSL’s connectivity across our 4G GSM range reinforces our commitment to delivering secure, dependable access control systems that installers and end users can rely on. With CSL management support behind our GSM products, we are able to offer greater operational continuity and confidence across a wide range of projects.”

This partnership reflects the increasing demand for integrated hardware and connectivity solutions in residential and commercial applications where reliability is critical.

John Coleman, CSL’s Sales Director, said: “By standardising on CSL’s connectivity for its GSM portfolio, Videx is ensuring its range remains future-ready as mobile network technologies evolve. Installers and integrators will benefit from a seamless setup process, backed by visibility and support across both Videx hardware and CSL connectivity services. Together we’re helping customers protect continuity, improve coverage, and deploy at scale with confidence.”
