Alvarado is pleased to announce the latest in state-of-the-art technology for guest admission applications, the IntraQ-SU5000 optical gate admission turnstile.

Recently installed for guest entry validation at State Farm Arena in Atlanta and Gaylord Opryland Resort’s $90 million-dollar SoundWave Waterpark in Nashville, the IntraQ-SU5000 combines the self-validation and fast throughput of our admission devices with the intelligent optical detection system of our flagship SU5000 security turnstile. The result is a highly effective access control solution with an upscale look to complement any venue’s interior.

Intelligent optical detection

The IntraQ-SU5000’s intelligent optical detection system recognises and notifies of instances

A driving reason behind both high-profile installations was the easy interaction between guests and the IntraQ-SU5000. The bright TFT touchscreen display provides customisable visual instructions and allows venues to display logos and generate revenue through on-screen advertising.

As guests approach and validate their printed or digital credentials, panels open away, providing touchless entry. Because the devices offer self-validation, staff can greet and assist guests and pay greater attention to possible security threats. The results are faster validation and substantially higher throughput rates when compared to validation using handheld scanning devices. Helping to ensure that each guest is validated upon entry, the IntraQ-SU5000’s intelligent optical detection system recognises and notifies of instances such as tailgating or forced entry attempts.

Blending seamlessly into any environment

The IntraQ-SU5000’s many available options allow the units to blend seamlessly into any environment. Custom cabinet colours, panel illumination in team or venue colours and logo etching on the moving or side panels are just a few of the customisation options available.

The IntraQ-SU5000 works seamlessly with Alvarado’s widely used GateLink10 admission control software

The IntraQ-SU5000 works seamlessly with Alvarado’s widely used GateLink10 admission control software. A DirectConnect API is also available, supporting direct plug and play connections to widely used ticketing/access systems such as Ticketmaster (including Presence), Tickets.com, Paciolan, NeuLion, Accesso and many other ticketing companies in the collegiate, professional, performing arts and general admission space.

Browser-based application

As an added benefit, the IntraQ-SU5000 and all of Alvarado’s intelligent admission products come with GateUtility (GU).

This browser-based application provides remote control of all Alvarado devices installed at a facility, allowing users to change screen graphics and sound files, open individual (or all) turnstile barriers to provide a clear passageway during or after event and update software and device configurations. With over 20 years’ experience providing admission devices and access control software, Alvarado products help venues around the globe transform the access process throughout the venue.
