Gone are the days when access control consisted of gates, locked doors, and serial-communication to include IP-based technology i.e. keypads, biometrics, smart cards, and radio frequency over Ethernet networks. As access control has advanced, these systems now provide:
- Unprecedented security
- Transmission of complex, precise information that requires additional management control
Due to the large bandwidth requirements, traditional rapid serial interfaces and terminal blocks do not have the ability to accommodate modern access control systems. As a result, the need for integrating fiber optics and an Ethernet protocol has become paramount to the success of these systems. Transitions Networks offer a range of PoE and serial devices fit for the latest proliferation of access control networks.
