September 12, 2003—Lenel Systems International, a provider of integrated security systems, has integrated into its OnGuard Total Security Knowledge Management Solution Wyreless Access peripherals from Recognition Source, a provider of wireless solutions for access control applications.
The result is an access control solution that combines the power and reliability of wired access control with all of the benefits of wireless technology.
Lenel has taken its OnGuard Total Security Knowledge Management Solution and the Wyreless Access product line to the next level in system integration. By developing a direct RS-485 interconnect to the Wyreless Access Panel Interface Module (PIM-485-16), the number of PIMs required for a system is reduced by up to a factor of 8.
All of the devices needed for door control and monitoring are built into the Wyreless Access peripheral called the Modular Integrated Reader Lock. Incorporating access control at a door merely requires removing the old lock hardware and installing the new Modular Integrated Reader Lock hardware. A door installation can be completed in less than an hour, compared to several hours in a wired application. For gate retrofit applications, the need for trenching is eliminated. For elevator applications, the need for traveling cabling is eliminated. And for remote doors in adjacent buildings, the need for overhead wiring is eliminated.
The Wyreless transceivers, which combine high transmitter power with high sensitivity receivers, give reliable and broad coverage. The use of Spread Spectrum technology with encrypted signals incorporating PIN numbers, random addresses, time slots and deliberate requests for commands, insures the security of the system. Patented energy saving technology enables the power supply to give up to four years of battery life with up to 20,000 operations per year.
