AXCESS Solidifies RFID Gate Access Control Superiority
Automatic Gate Equipment & Supply Corp. Passes 5th year,
50th Install of Active RFID Solution
DALLAS, TX, January 13, 2005 — AXCESS International Inc. (OTCBB: AXSI.OB), a leading provider of Active Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems today announced one of its legacy distributors, Automatic Gate Equipment & Supply Corp., passed its 5th year and 50th system installation of Active RFID for gate access control. The AXCESS automated gate control solution continues to excel because of performance, cost, and maintenance advantages over manual and other automated RFID systems. It is used in gated communities, country clubs, enterprises and government vehicle access solutions.
AXCESS’ vehicle access control system is based on active radio frequency identification technology. An underground road loop antenna automatically activates the vehicle tag located on the windshield as the vehicle approaches the gate. The tag transmits the identification to a palm-sized receiver tied to the gate controller for “rolling vehicle access”. A superior ROI in residential access can be provided immediately through automated identification and authorization where previous manual authorization or even a security guard was needed. Additionally, AXCESS provides a variety of tags that can increase the functionality of the system such as key fobs with manual buttons, anti-tamper metal mount tags for trucks, and personnel credential tags as well as the standard vehicle tag.
“AXCESS remains our go to choice out of all the options available in the marketplace for vehicle access control,” commented Mike Storms of Automatic Gate Equipment & Supply. “We continue to choose AXCESS due to the system’s uniqueness in solving the customer’s problems and overall cost savings. The ActiveTag system utilizes minimal infrastructure which eliminates obtrusive hardware and is therefore less prone to vandalism. We have also been able to easily replicate the system across several different installations using a variety of tags ultimately saving installation time.”
“Our strength is in the system’s modularity, extended range and reliability, and ease of installation,” said Ben Donohue, vice president of business development for AXCESS. “Repeat sales to our customers are reflected by the ActiveTag system’s ability to help reduce overall costs as well as its non-intrusive infrastructure. The ActiveTag system’s unique functionality and options allow us to provide the best service for our customers and that is clearly reflected by over 50 installations performed with Automatic Gate Equipment and Supply.”
AXCESS’ patented ActiveTag RFID product uses small, battery powered tags (generically called “active” tags) that when automatically activated, transmit a wireless message typically 30 to 100 feet to hidden palm size receivers. The receivers are connected via an industry standard interface to existing security alarm equipment or networked on the existing corporate network. Optionally, the tag system can also be used to trigger security video recording and live remote video transmission. The tags are used for a variety of security applications including automatic personnel access to facilities, automatic vehicle access to parking areas and yards, corporate asset tracking and protection, as well as special purpose sensing. Automatic email alerting and paging is offered for rapid response to security incidents.
