PCSC, a designer and manufacturer of access control solutions and Coolfire Solutions, a St. Louis based software company known for creating Military-Grade situational awareness platforms, collaborate to deliver top-level capabilities for access and security. Coolfire Solutions created its innovative Ronin Platform to deliver software that sits on top of existing systems and infrastructure to transform data into actionable intelligence. Originally developed for the U.S. military, the Ronin Platform is being widely adopted by industry leaders and organizations who recognize the importance of placing the right data, in the right hands, in real-time, so that intelligent decisions can be made. LiNC-NXG PSIM System Stacking the Ronin Platform on top of the data provided by PCSC’s LiNC-NXG PSIM system provides a robust, real-time common operational pictureStacking the Ronin Platform on top of the data provided by PCSC’s LiNC-NXG physical security information management system provides a robust, real-time common operational picture, visually representing physical security events, and enabling a coordinated security response. For instance, urgent security related event details are pushed to mobile devices of nearby security officials for immediate action. An additional benefit, in the case of an on-premises environment, the underlying access management system is not exposed, only the top-level data is managed. Extend The Capabilities Of Access Solutions “An extremely impressive GUI for our industry and an actionable set of features extend the capabilities of PCSC’s access solutions for real-time response,” said Mas Kosaka, President and CEO of PCSC. “The expansion possibilities are virtually limitless too. We’re excited to debut the capabilities of Ronin to our Business Partners during the PCSC Symposium in conjunction with ISC West, the largest security industry trade show in the U.S.” Coolfire Solutions and PCSC have the experience and capabilities to transform the way security professionals do their job every day" “Coolfire Solutions and PCSC have the experience and capabilities to transform the way security professionals do their job every day. We can maximize the value of existing technology investments by combining data from any source and making it actionable," said Don Sharp, CEO at Coolfire Solutions. "Security professionals have an incredibly challenging job and it’s only getting tougher. By bringing all of their critical data onto a single pane of glass we can increase the level of security while driving significant operational efficiencies.”

Agreement enables enhanced technical support and faster time to installation for PalmEntry and PalmEntryXS solutions Fujitsu Frontech North America Inc., a leader in innovative technology and front-end solutions is pleased to announce that Torrance, CA-based PCSC will be the master distributor for PalmEntryTM and PalmEntryTMXS physical access control solutions effective immediately. Both PalmEntry and PalmEntryXS are based on Fujitsu’s award winning PalmSecure® palm vein biometrics technology. Quality Access Control Solutions PCSC is a designer and manufacturer of quality access control solutions ranging from integrated hardware to sophisticated access control management software, including door entry access, video badging, CCTV control, elevator control, alarm graphics, PoE network peripherals, and video integration. “We are delighted that Fujitsu has chosen PCSC as the master distributor for PalmEntry and PalmEntryXS solutions,” according to Mas Kosaka, President and CEO, PCSC. “This agreement will allow us to build and complement our existing product portfolio while enabling us to penetrate new markets with our security solutions.” Limits Of The Fujitsu-PCSC Agreement This master distributor agreement applies only to PalmEntry and PalmEntryXS solutions. Fujitsu Frontech North America Inc. will continue to be the primary supplier of PalmSecure technology that includes PalmSecure Mouse, PalmSecure for Single Sign-on and PalmLockTM for SAP. Existing PalmEntry and PalmEntryXS solution customers can expect to receive the same high level of customer service and customer care from the Fujitsu Frontech North America support team. Fujitsu’s palm vein device canonly recognize the pattern if theblood is actively flowing withinthe individual’s veins, soforgery is virtually impossible Palm Vein Biometric Technology Solutions PalmEntry and PalmEntryXS solutions are based on Fujitsu’s patented PalmSecure palm vein biometric technology. “By streamlining the sales channel, we are creating greater efficiencies that will enable PCSC to maintain and even augment the high level of customer service and care their customers receive today, while being very price competitive,” according to Randy Fox, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Fujitsu Frontech North America Inc. “PalmEntry and PalmEntryXS solutions will be a nice addition to the robust suite of products and services offered by PCSC”. Fujitsu PalmSecure biometric palm vein sensors use a near-infrared light to capture a user’s palm vein pattern, generating a unique biometric template that is matched against the palm vein patterns of pre-registered users. Unlike other readers, the PalmSecure device does not come into contact with the skin, making it extremely hygienic, non-intrusive and unrestricted by external factors such as skin types and conditions. Registration for PalmSecure device users takes less than one minute and authentication takes less than one second.  Reliable Authentication Fujitsu’s family of biometric solutions, PalmSecure® sensors, PalmSecure for SSO (single sign-on) and the PalmEntryTM Physical Access Control system all utilize the award-winning technology. The palm vein device can only recognize the pattern if the blood is actively flowing within the individual’s veins, so forgery is virtually impossible. This advanced, vascular pattern recognition technology not only provides highly reliable authentication with low false accept and reject rates, but also allows for fast and easy enrollment.

This partnership allows the collaboration between two companies’ products, development and further integration PCSC, a designer and manufacturer of quality access control solutions confirms that it has entered into a strategic partnership with INEX/ZAMIR , a leading provider of ALPR solutions and services. This partnership will allow for the collaboration between the two companies’ products, development and further integration. As a result, sales channels can begin offering this new integrated solution. The Integration INEX/ZAMIR’s Automatic License Plate Readers (ALPR) and its IZServer software are designed to fully integrate with PCSC’s LiNC-NXGTM system. The integration between INEX/ZAMIR license plate readers and PCSC enables the system to use vehicle license plates to grant or deny facility access. An imager captures license plate numbers. These numbers are then matched against license plate data in the LiNC-NXGTM LPR database. On a match, the corresponding user ID number is sent to the access panel associated with a gate or barrier. The controller processes the user ID number through its normal authorization logic as if a card was presented at a reader, and then controls whether access is permitted. By utilising a vehicle’s license plate as a user credential, the system requires no additional equipment such as RFID chips and barcodes - making this the least expensive and most reliable system on the market. Using the license plate as the credential requires no interaction from the driver, virtually eliminating wait times and bottlenecks caused by the need to stop and show or swipe an ID badge. The Partnership “We are pleased to announce the joint strategic partnership between INEX/ZAMIR and PCSC,” stated Roman Prilutsky, INEX/ZAMIR’s CEO. “The partnership is based on INEX/ZAMIR’s unique product features which offer reliable License Plate Recognition solutions with superior read performance of all plate types in any weather and lighting conditions. PCSC products, such as their LiNC-NXGTM software, integrated with INEX/ZAMIR’s IZServer, provides effective vehicle access control solutions. We are looking forward to to be working with a company that has such a fine reputation for quality products and technological innovation.” “The value of our partnership with INEX/ZAMIR allows PCSC to offer our customers a single, comprehensive and integrated license plate recognition solution,” said Mas Kosaka, President and CEO of PCSC. “We’re pleased to have the opportunity to form this relationship with INEX/ZAMIR. We know that it will strengthen our positioning in the marketplace and industry. We’re looking forward to our continued success.”
