The eMerge e-3 Series access control solution by Linear of Carlsbad, Calif., consists of the eMerge Essential and eMerge Essential Plus embedded browser-based network appliances.
Designed to suit most moderately-sized businesses, the units provide one-door/two-reader access control and immediate out-of-the-box expansion capabilities to grow the system to four-doors/eight-readers with no additional hardware required, according to the company.
All e3-Series eMerge systems rely on an IT-friendly embedded Linux operating system. According to the company, by using solid state hardware, eMerge products are protected from risks including hard drive failures, virus/spyware attacks, and Microsoft updates which can unknowingly take a system offline. Additional access control assurance is provided via the optional power over Ethernet (PoE) or the ability to backup via uninterruptible power supply.
Integrated inputs/outputs enhance functionality while a high-speed processor can handle more than 30 transactions per second, allowing multiple users to access simultaneously.
