| Tesa SMARTair wireless technology is easy to install and it supports all leading RFID technologies |
When one of Australia's most prestigious schools needed to upgrade to 21st-century security, it turned to Tesa SMARTair™ wireless access control. Nearly 100 doors in the school's new annex are protected by electronic handles and readers, and RFID smartcards have been issued to school staff.
SMARTair™ is a self-contained access control system that allows security managers to easily extend or replace a building's mechanical key system. Because it works wirelessly, installation is quick and easy, requiring no ugly, expensive cabling. Leading RFID technologies are all supported.
Geoff Bowring, Facilities Manager at Brisbane Boys College, says: “We at Brisbane Boys College take student safety and security seriously, so a new security system needed to meet high standards. Ease of use, combined with the speed of the installation and, of course, the cost saving, sold us on SMARTair™.”
In the past, the College relied on a traditional master key system. But lost keys have regularly required major efforts to change the locks. Facilities staff at Brisbane Boys College can now open doors remotely, issue digital keys instantly, and generate an audit trail for any secure door in the new annex. Lost keys no longer pose a security risk—they can be revoked with the click of a mouse.
“You only have to lose a master key once resulting in replacing all your locks and you very quickly appreciate the convenience and cost saving that SMARTair™ provides,” adds Geoff Bowring.
SMARTair™ is also flexible enough to expand as needed. In fact, work has already begun on the gradual replacement of mechanical keys across the entire campus.
