SPECTRE nano
A new reader for instant Vehicle and
Driver identification
One of the main priorities for organizations managing their fleet
of vehicles is to ensure that only registered vehicles with authorized
drivers access parking areas. Contactless technologies offer
new possibilities to streamline parking access operations while
protecting corporate assets. Frederick Trujillo, STid's Sales &
Operations Manager, for North America, provides us with further
explanation.
What potential do contactless technologies (RFID,
Bluetooth®, IoT, etc.) offer to smoothen the process
of car park access?
Frederick Trujillo: Security managers often must combine two
seemingly contradictory challenges within their security policies:
Securing the access to their car parks while ensuring a smooth
traffic flow at the same time. Addressing both challenges is really
essential, because statistics show that 7 out of 10 employees use
their car to get to work. This fact alone should be sufficient to
put effort in finding new solutions to simplify user mobility and
increase the security level of parking access. How? By deploying
technologies that enable automatic identification of the vehicle
and/or its driver. STid strongly believes that vehicle access control
should be equally as instinctive and secure as the identification
of people. It should support the user in simplifying their daily
routine and, more importantly, it should help avoid bottlenecks
in traffic flow at peak times.
You announce the launch of a new reader for parking
access control. What are its specific strengths?
Frederick Trujillo: In addition to our successful SPECTRE Scalable
Long-Range reader for UHF tags, we are now launching
SPECTRE nano. It's extremely compact size, its robustness and
its technological innovations offer new ground-breaking perspectives
to enhance vehicle access control operations.
First, our SPECTRE Nano combines Bluetooth® with UHF
technologies to enable dual identification: vehicles in the access
lane are identified remotely (up to 6m) and automatically and, in
addition, visitors are identified with their smartphone and virtual
card, because of the integration with the STid Mobile ID® ecosystem.
Indeed, with STid Mobile ID®, you can digitize all your
access badges/cards and transfer them onto one single app. The
app can be used for both building and parking access control for
employees and visitors.
Moreover, SPECTRE nano is extremely robust (IK10 and
IP65 certified) and has an anti-tamper feature: the security keys
are automatically destroyed in the event of attempted vandalism.
STid shows with SPECTRE nano once again that it takes
data security very seriously. The company considers it crucial to
guarantee the protection, integrity, and confidentiality of data.
The SPECTRE nano complies with end-to-end security concepts
thanks to the usage of EAL5+ key storage, OSDP™ v1 & v2
protocols and data encryption and authentication methods for
storage and data communication: Duplicating or emulating an
authorized credential is impossible!
To conclude, SPECTRE nano has the best size / performance
ratio on the market.
How is it essential to provide new technological
solutions for parking access? Do you have examples?
Frederick Trujillo: Just think about what drivers are confronted
with daily: busy traffic, incidents, traffic jams. This daily routine
does not make our life a joyful experience. When we finally
reach the car park entrance, the ordeal continues: we need to
stop our vehicle and position it adequately, open the window
and awkwardly finding the right posture to be able to present our
badge to the reader, just close enough so that it almost touches it.
This dreadful user experience has an impact on us and our surrounding
environment: public roads and streets, other users. The
process of trying to get access really can be a source of tension,
especially when queues are long.
Another daily routine that deserves our attention is the
access management of motorcycles in car parks. Motor bikes
do not have a number plate mounted at the front which can
be used for identification purposes. This inability to smoothly
identify motor bikes potentially also hinders access control for
vehicles. Bikers are required to remove a glove to either present
a badge or identify themselves using a smartphone, which often
requires finding and activating an app or typing a code. STid
technology is supporting much more convenient user interaction
scenarios. One tap with their smartphone with the STid
Mobile ID® app is sufficient for bikers to get access to the parking.
Easy and quick. Your employees and visitors will enjoy
an improved user experience and your company will appreciate
avoiding unnecessary queueing and safeguarding corporate
security policies.
