The need was simple enough:
visibility and access control in a conference
facility. The Kazakhstani Government approached
a leading Almaty IT Security firm, ANS-KZ,
to collaborate with a group of expert engineers
to solve security concerns involving international
conferences held in the country’s political
capital, Astana.
With numerous applications
developed from the ground up, Academia RFID’s
vendor-neutral RFID TESTeam offered a solution
design methodology that answered ANS-KZ’s
specific needs and presented opportunities
to customize an application to their exiting
security processes.
“It started with an e-mail
listing system requirements and progressed
to a sophisticated security interface that
offered conference floor visibility and
break-out session access control with real-time
(and discreet) alerts of security breaches”,
said Anthony Palermo, Director of the Academia
RFID Centre of Excellence in Montreal.
The RFID system was designed
with RFID Portals at key read-points; handheld
devices for members of the security team
and conference participants’ badges that
included an RFID tag whose unique identifier
would reference a secured database to identify
the participant and their access status.
The RFID interface (including screens at
each read-point, on the handhelds and at
a main security desk) could alert if a participant
had breached certain doorways without permission
as well as show a complete overview of the
conference and its participants in near
real-time.
“We’re pleased with the
opportunity to work collaboratively with
the RFID TESTeam at Academia RFID. It was
a perfect way of developing a solution that
answered our customer’s needs as opposed
to being sold a solution that would have
to be retrofitted and might not of worked
for our specific application”, added Sergey
Krivonos, ANS-KZ’s North American Director
of Business Development.
After a few weeks of testing
in the Academia RFID Lab, the system was
fully deployed in September 2010 by the
ANS-KZ Team in Astana.
