CARMEL, IN - September
30, 2010 - Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies, a leading global provider
of security and safety solutions and manufacturer of Schlage contactless smart
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 Schlage's MIFARE credentials and Schlage'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, Ingersoll Rand Security
Technologies 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 Schlage 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 Schlage customers with operational
needs for vehicle tracking and vehicle access control, a large growth market
in the security industry."
