Axcess International has announced Dot Wireless Credential, a local area wireless business credential product that ought to give businesses the option to augment existing access control and ID systems to provide added-value solutions inside the enterprise in a single ID card. As a first of its kind, this card combines short range manual ID and facility wide auto ID.
The product will be demonstrated at the International Security Conference (ISC – West) at the Sands Convention Center in Las Vegas from March 24 to 26. In addition to demonstrations in Axcess’ booth 20145 in the Access Control section, it will be shown in the booths of HID Global (booth 12051) and ADT (booth 24051).
Dot is based on Axcess’ patented Micro Wireless technology, which is built around RFID principles specifically designed for robust, low cost energy-efficient wireless messaging and optimized for automatic identification, sensing and control solutions. It ought to eclipse architectures such as Wi-Fi and battery-assisted passive RFID where size, cost, signal robustness and power management are problematic.

By combining HID Global’s strength in secure credentialing with Axcess’ solutions, a single secure credential can be used to solve additional business problems cost-effectively and conveniently throughout an enterprise.
