This upgrade supports the interoperability of the Nedap reader portfolio with a growing number of access control and security products. Over the last few years, an increasing number of access control panel manufacturers is supporting OSDP technology and this upgrade enables seamless integration supported by a highly secured communication standard. Nedap will make OSDP V2.1.7 available for both its Transit and Upass long-range RFID product line.

OSDP has been developed by the Security Industry Association (SIA). And according to the SIA, OSDP offers high security and advanced functionalities. The protocol enables bi-directional and encrypted communication based on Secure Channel Protocol (SCP). In addition, for example, OSDP enables monitoring wiring to protect against attack threats. Due to the fact that OSDP is offering secure and bi-directional communication between the reader and third party controller platform, the OSDP upgrade enables security professionals to simplify secured vehicle access.

Nedap has been a specialist in advanced solutions for Automatic Vehicle Identification for over the past decades, during which the company has developed a unique portfolio of high performance long-range RFID and License Plate Recognition systems.

For the security professionals OSDP compliancy offers a great opportunity to talk to the customer base about the relevancy of OSDP in security and access control. Nedap Information Systems is hosting a webinar on the 14th of May, to give a complete picture of the opportunities offered by the updated RFID reader portfolio. Within this webinar, Ido Wentink (Proposition Manager) and Hans Rappard (Product Specialist), will  give a 30 minute presentation covering all the details of Nedap’s newly upgraded OSDP  long-range RFID portfolio.
