The DCH Regional Medical Center in Tuscaloosa, Alabama selected Amag Technology's controller retrofit solution to replace its current Casi Rusco security system which had reached the end of its life and was no longer supported by the manufacturer. The controller used as a retrofit solution allows users to easily and cost effectively upgrade their current end of life security system to Symmetry and keep their existing infrastructure intact. The design of the controller permits users to reuse existing hardware such as readers, enclosures and wiring. This one of a kind approach allows customers to save the enormous cost of installing new equipment or retrofitting with other more complicated solutions. The controllers provide a cost effective, low risk solution to upgrade aging, unsupported technology to modern standards while protecting investments and minimizing costs. Amag Technology is a security management solution provider that specializes in converged access control, IP video, and intrusion management solutions for the commercial and government markets.
“DCH Hospital was able to maintain its existing infrastructure investment and install a state-of-the-art security management system for a fraction of what a complete rip out and replacement system would have cost,” said Amag Technology, Executive VP of Sales and Marketing, Matt Barnette. “Gorrie-Regan recognized the benefits of the Symmetry SR Controller retrofit solution, suggested it to the hospital and they jumped at the chance to upgrade to Symmetry while saving money.”
The controllers offer the latest in access control hardware technology in a form factor that allows seamless installation into retrofit solutions. Utilizing pluggable backplane architecture, the controller series provides a high-density solution in a compact enclosure. This form factor is ideal for upgrading legacy equipment to a state-of-the art Symmetry solution.
Installing integrator, Gorrie-Regan, has worked closely with DCH Hospital for many years, and was the natural choice to install this upgrade.
