April 11, 2008—Vaunce, Ltd., a provider of radio frequency verification solutions, including active RFID, electronic access control, credentialing and incident response management, announces that Prince William County, Virginia, is using its Compass system to provide increased electronic access control security in select buildings.
Over a year ago, Prince William County Buildings and Grounds Office determined a need to provide increased access control in some buildings, including two police stations, its 911 Center and office buildings. After reviewing a number of options, it selected Vuance’s Compass system. The system is being installed and maintained by M.C. Dean, Inc., one of Vuance’s business partners. Based on the current success, additional installations are planned for the future, says the company.
Compass manages access into, within and exiting a facility, depending on the client’s needs. Personnel credentials recorded on badges and cards are read by readers. Access through doors is operated through controllers. Compass integrates individual buildings into the county’s extensive IT network. The entire system is run by a host computer’s central database of cardholders, permissions and systematic procedures.
User-friendliness is a key feature of the system. It’s intuitively designed, so it doesn’t require days of classroom training or weeks of practice to use when first installed, says the company. Further, new users can be added quickly.
