Identiv announced integration between its
Velocity access control and security management software and the Telaeris XPressEntry handheld mobile authentication terminals and tracking software.
“This integration extends the security and power of Velocity beyond fixed doors to anywhere and everywhere the customer needs it,” said John Piccininni, Vice President of Business Development at Identiv. “From employees clocking in on buses that take them to the workplace, to roving guards validating employee badges at an airport, to remote gates and muster stations that can help identify employees that need rescue services in the event of an emergency, Velocity and XPressEntry provide the security, flexibility and mobility needed by the modern organization.”
Telaeris’ mobile verification and mustering system, XPressEntry, natively integrates with the Velocity access control system and enables a broad range of handheld capabilities. XPressEntry monitors data from Velocity using the Velocity API. Information, such as employees’ names, photos, access privileges, credentials, and activities, is continually synchronized to XPressEntry. Telaeris’ handheld badge readers allow security operators to enhance the security and safety of facilities managed by Velocity, allowing users to setup virtual doors as needed and on the fly, validate the credentials of cardholders and establish muster stations anywhere in the facility or campus, optimizing rescue resources in emergency conditions.
On top of the features provided by mobile badge readers, XPressEntry monitors the occupancy of each building. All employee and visitor entries and exits are registered and this data is pushed out to the ruggedized mobile units. This information is then available as a live view of who is inside any facility controlled by Velocity. Users may be quickly checked as safely rostered both during fire drills and most importantly during real emergency events.
“Telaeris’ native integration with Velocity allows us to provide world-class emergency evacuation tracking systems to Identiv’s customers who want to provide the best safety systems for their employees,” said David Carta, Telaeris CEO. “We are proud to work with a best-in-class access control system like Velocity to bring our emergency mustering solution to customers around the world.”
