With a wide product portfolio Nedap offers some of the latest gate entry solutions in the residential security industry. Upass Reach offers vehicle identification up to a distance of 5 metres [16 ft.]. This reader, based on UHF (Ultra High Frequency), is an effective solution for straightforward access to car parks, gated communities, condominiums and campuses.

The homeowner association (HOA) of Stonebridge realised that vehicles access to this exclusive address, situated in the rolling landscape of the Ozark Mountains, had to meet a higher level of security, protection and user-convenience. The former access control system no longer met their requirements. The delays this caused during peak hours, combined with the inconvenience of being exposed to the elements each time they entered their community, encouraged the homeowner association to search for a better solution.

The HOA required a solution that would improve the throughput without sacrificing the security of the gated community. Furthermore, it was important that the solution would not heavily impact the monthly HOA fee for residents.

Nedap’s integration partner Federal Protection, provider of residential security services, renewed the access control system. With implementing Upass Reach readers at all entrance and exit points of the gated community, the HOA chose this proficient cost-effective system for straightforward access of vehicles in and out of secured premises.

Residents vehicles equipped with a windshield mounted UHF tag are automatically identified at a distance of 5 metres when approaching the gate. This valuable solution means that residents no longer have to stop at the gate to present their credential. Besides offering secured vehicle access, this solution prevents delays during peak times.
