STid Secures Vehicle Entrance to
MONTCLAIR STATE UNIVERSITY Campus
Another great success story for STid in the USA! Montclair State University
(MSU), a 252-acre suburban campus located 12 miles from New York City
in New Jersey, has upgraded its vehicle access control system with STid's
highly secure identification solutions. Frederick Trujillo, the STid Sales and
Operations Manager in the USA, provides us with further explanation.
Montclair State University
was in desperate need
to upgrade its decades-old
access control system. The
university decided to address
the main gate entrance fi rst,
which is used mostly by vehicles
of employees and by large
buses as the primary point of
entry onto this large, expansive
campus. Delays when
entering through this gate
can cause undesirable ripple
effects, like professors and
students being late for class, meetings and other activities. Th e
current access control system has been in use for decades, so a
change would defi nitely require some willingness to adjust from
the employees that were used to the old system. Flawless security
combined with a frictionless user experience was required and
expected by the university and its employees... Industry leader
STid was selected because of its reputation to successfully deliver
highly secure identifi cation solutions!
Optimizing vehicle flows in high-security mode
Th is project involved approximately 200 tags to be mounted
on vehicle and a number of readers at the main campus gate.
When an authorized driver approaches the car park entrance, the
vehicle is automatically detected and identifi ed. How? Th anks
to the STid SPECTRE long-range UHF reader that is installed
at the gate. SPECTRE readers support convenient read ranges
of up to 46 feet (14 meters) in a very secure and reliable way.
STid's SPECTRE UHF scalable long-range reader was the perfect
choice for this particular gate. Elegant, fl exible and perfectly
secure, SPECTRE readers ensure automatic and remote identifi
cation of vehicles as part of one-, two- or four-lane confi gurations.
Th e robust design and build-up of the reader makes it
perform its tasks eff ectively even in harsh, outdoor environments.
SPECTRE readers are
designed to support
an instinctive user
experience without
making any compromise
on security. It is
mise on security. It is
withstand knocks and malivandal-proof
(IK10) and can
vandal-proof (IK10) and can
withstand knocks and malicious
acts, Its IP66-certifi ed
housing is capable to withstand
vibration, dust, heavy
rain, seaside air and other
challenging conditions.
In practical terms, a highsecurity
UHF tag is fi xed onto the driver's windscreen is. Th is
so-called " TeleTag® " can be applied removable or it can be fi rmly
fi xed in place. Th e fully passive TeleTag® virtually has an unlimited
lifespan with invariable performance levels. It fl awlessly
off ers a high level of security, a rapid return on investment, and
it requires no further maintenance once installed.
Successful deployment drives
future technology upgrades
After the successful transition of the main gate to the new STid system,
MSU has further plans to expand the new system to fi ve additional
gates this year, and the university is currently also reviewing
other cost-eff ective STid solutions that would add value to their
existing legacy access control systems throughout the campus.
Bill Hausmann, MSU Facilities in IT Department comments:
" We were overdue for an upgrade on our access control system and
STid guided us with unparalleled customer service. We had some
learning curves and STid's customer support was second to none.
We never waited more than 20 minutes for an answer to questions
- ever. Our old system went down in the middle of our upgrade,
and we were able to speed up our implementation to ensure a quick
transition. It's a seamless system employees don't have to think
about once we install a transponder on their vehicles. "
