WestconGroup is now offering the next generation of Net2 Entry systems by vendor partner Paxton.

Paxton’s line of access control systems is the latest addition to the Westcon Security Solutions practice, which arms solution providers with the training, education and technologies to succeed in today’s fast-evolving business marketplace.
