Irish university installs Salto access control systems

05 Mar 10

The 1,805sq m building, which covers two floors and holds up to 90 researchers and support staff, is a national facility for network embedded systems research.

Integrator Doorware said: “The design specification for the building called for the latest in RFID electronic locking systems to be incorporated in order that the Institute had total control over who was able to access what, where and when at all times. Backing this up was the equally important requirement to have real time full audit trail capability to provide 24/7 critical security management protection.”

As part of the system, Mifare contactless smart cards, which would also double up as photo ID cards, were issued. The ‘smart’ ID cards build up 'on-card' audit trails through normal use giving Cork Institute of Technology complete control over access.

Besides the electronic door hardware, Salto’s virtual network software enables locks and key cards to be updated remotely and access profiles to be changed. The technology can also be integrated with third party systems to allow ID cards and locks to be updated, restricted or deleted remotely.
