It is essential to offer them a high level of security at Gyron's facilities.Ben Miller, Gyron's Operations Director says: "Think of us as technical landlords, some customers are hosting up to a quarter of a million websites each. They really need to be sure of how advanced our technical facilities are."Robin Balen, Gyron's Managing Director says: "In addition to ensuring all the technical aspects of our new centre are first class, we needed to ensure that our security systems are top class as well."An important part of the security offered is the access control system.  Robin says: "Without access control we wouldn't have any customers."Net2 provides the flexibility needed and the audit trail that is essential for Gyron's business. Anyone visiting Gyron has to pass through stringent security. Barriers and rising bollards protect the car park, with the secure data centre guarded by a full height, bullet proof glass ‘man trap'. Users gain access using their token then, once inside, an iris recognition reader checks their credentials and performs an ultrasonic scan to ensure only one person is present, before granting access to the secure area. The iris reader is linked into the Net2 system, giving a full event log of people moving into and out of this area.

The new Paxton Access keycard adds even more versatility to access control systems

Paxton Access has launched a new keycard for use with its hands free access control solution.  The new keycard offers a maximum range of up to 50m. The new triple-function Net2Air keycard operates as a normal hands free token on doors equipped with a hands free interface and, by operating the keycard buttons, as a long-range access card.  The keycard's two buttons can be programmed to operate two different access points, such as  ‘in' and ‘out' car park barriers.  Pressing a button momentarily boosts the range of the keycard from a maximum range of 2.5m (like a hands free keyfob) to a maximum range of up to 50m.Hands free and long-range capability can be easily added to an existing installation.  It simply requires the fitting of the hands free interface between the control unit and the reader.  The hands free interface coverts any PROXIMITY P series reader to ‘hands free' including Paxton Access' small 38mm PROXIMITY P38 reader.The advantages of using Paxton Access hands free interfaceRetrofit to existing system - Fit the hands free interface to new systems, or upgrade an existing system        Only those who need hands free access require hands free tokens - keeps costs downHands free access from small readers - Hands free access from our P series readers.  No expensive ground or door loops neededDon't just think disabled access - Hands free will make life easier in stores, loading bays, and hospitalsSuitable for our Net2 and Switch2 systems - Both standalone and PC based systems can be converted to hands free
