Convenient high tech access control from Nedap AVI
Groenlo, The Netherlands
Nedap adds convenience and ease of use as the new dimension in building access control. This offers security managers the ability to select for each individual situation the best appropriate access control solution. Upass Access is applicable in many situations, such as typical hands-free building access for staff in hospitals, wheelchair users, employees in warehouses, and more high volume entrances in office buildings and at universities.
The Upass Access contains a patented antenna design. The small shaped reader (15 cm height x 5 cm width x 4 cm depth) is specifically designed for doorpost mounting, has a read range up to 2 metres (6 feet), and supports reading battery-less UHF (EPC Gen II) access control cards. Nedap’s portfolio holds various types of combi cards that combine UHF with conventional card technology. The new Upass Access reader supports all common security industry standards for communication with access control systems. The reader can be used indoors and outdoors with an IP65 rating, supports Wiegand connections as well as serial connections, including RS485.
