Access Control Updates

Transmission technology has transformed from the proximity card to the smart card, and now, long range reading transmission technology advancements at Farpointe Data have created 433 MHz transmitters that are substantially more resourceful than the previous 125 kHz of the proximity card and 13.56 MHz of the smart card.
The new two or four button transmitters can open two to four doors from up to 200 feet. The 433 MHz receivers use both long range identification and no-contact technologies; an efficient combination of proximity and smart cards. The new transmitters and receivers are also more secure because the communication signal only activates when the user is pressing the transmitter's button and proceeds directly to the receiver, not like common active cards which usually send out a constant signal for a receiver. Security is also heightened because when a user presses a transmitter's button, the access data changes due to the fact that it is encrypted and rolling consistently. Codes cannot be sniffed or duplicated.
Farpointe Data's work is not over yet. The long range transmission technology popularity is growing thanks to the convenience it brings to every user.
