AXCESS Active RFID Automatic Gate Control Solution Installed in NY Gated Community

Momentum Shown with AXCESS Distributor - Perimeter Access; Utilizes 200 Active Tags to Provide a Truly Automatic, Hands-free Vehicle Access Solution

DALLAS, Jan. 31 -- AXCESS International Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: AXSI.OB) , a leading provider of Active Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems today announced that Perimeter Access Control Equipment Corporation of New York, an AXCESS distributor, recently completed an installation at a residential gated community on Long Island which utilizes 200 active tags to provide a truly automatic, hands-free vehicle access solution. AXCESS' automatic vehicle access control system continues to be a leading choice among gated communities nationwide.

While the market for residential gated access continues to grow, it has been hampered by large infrastructure costs and intrusive manual procedures for entry. Active RFID has the advantage of providing a low cost and aesthetically pleasing installation while providing hands-free rolling access which is automatic, convenient and efficient.

"Our customer was looking for a vehicle access control system that requires no manual input from the driver," commented Charles Plotnick of Perimeter Access. "We chose AXCESS because the key fob tag automatically opens the gate without the driver pushing any buttons or presenting an ID card. AXCESS' solution was also the most cost effective system available, providing an enormous ROI for our customers. The installation was simple and has proven to be very dependable, and our customer and its residents are extremely satisfied with the systems ease of use."

AXCESS' ActiveTag(TM) RFID solution includes an underground road loop antenna that activates the small key fob tag located on the driver's key chain as the vehicle approaches. The key fob tag is similar in size and appearance to most automatic car entry fobs. The activated tag transmits the identification to a palm-sized receiver tied to the gate controller for "rolling vehicle access". Residential access is now provided immediately and "hands-free" for authorized vehicles where manual authorization was previously needed.

"Our deep expertise in providing automatic vehicle access control for over 7 years is clearly reflected by the repeat sales through our distributors," stated Ben Donohue, Vice President of Business Development for AXCESS. "Since security has heightened nationwide we have seen a significant increase in the number of installations at upscale residential communities. Residents require tightened security but are looking for a solution that does not inhibit convenience. When Perimeter Access came to us looking for a suitable solution, we were confident we could provide the answer."

AXCESS' patented ActiveTag RFID product uses small, battery powered tags (generically called "active" tags) that when automatically activated transmit a wireless message to hidden palm size receivers. The receivers are connected via an industry standard interface to existing security alarm equipment or networked on the existing corporate network. Optionally, the tag system can be used to trigger security video recording and live remote video transmission using proprietary AXCESS technology. The ActiveTag products are used for a variety of security applications, including automatic personnel & vehicle access to facilities, corporate asset tracking and protection as well as special purpose sensing. Automatic email alerting and paging is offered for rapid response to security incidents.
