Dolph’s Pick: Cypress Mobile Access Reader

You may have seen handheld data collection devices in the past, but certainly nothing like the wireless AACTivate mobile reader from Cypress Integration Solutions. Cypress has long been a company known for its creativity and reputation in manufacturing reliable, high-performance security products. This handy item is unique in that it maintains a dedicated, live connection to the access control or security database at all times. This allows for instant verification of current credentials.

Up to 16 handheld units can be used on one system. Both the handheld and base units have repeater functionality, due to use of a multihop mesh network. The system employs Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) Secure Channel communications using either traditional Wiegand or the Security Industry Association’s (SIA) new OSDP standard. Applications might include guard booth/ID checks in trucks and buses, rapid access control deployment, staff enrollment and asset tracking, random badge checks, and mustering at emergency assembly locations. eyetrax.net
