GOLDEN, COL. - October
7, 2010 - XceedID, a leading manufacturer of contactless credentials and readers,
and NEDAP, a leading provider of long range electronic vehicle access solutions,
have entered into a partnership which will let customers use the same credential
for accessing parking structures as used to enter building doors. Typical
installations include parking facilities, secure facility access and vehicle
tracking.
NEDAP's long-range driver-based
identification is compatible with XceedID's MIFARE credentials and XceedID's
HID-compatible proximity credential by using NEDAP's in-vehicle Booster device.
The Booster acts as a mobile reader and transmitter for the card credentials,
in conjunction with the NEDAP TRANSIT line of readers. This extends card read
range up to 33 feet at 125 mph while adding vehicle identification to the
card data for secure mutual authentication.
"Ingersoll Rand Security
Technologies is pleased to expand our global business and product offering
by working with NEDAP AVI," states John Menzel, XceedID's director of
business development. "This partnership provides our customers with yet
another application supporting our technology. NEDAP has been an established
global player in the security and parking industry for many years and continues
to create new solutions for these markets."
"The partnership
with XceedID is very exciting to us," agrees Gorm Tuxen, NEDAP AVI business
development partner, the Americas. "This partnership extends the reach
of the NEDAP AVI long range technology to include XceedID customers with operational
needs for vehicle tracking and vehicle access control, a large growth market
in the security industry."
