Ensuring a secure facility is the top priority in the field of access control. Therefore, our latest firmware update for our 2.45GHz readers (LR-6), enables the possibility to use the OSDP protocol without adding any new hardware.
This has been available and used in our UHF readers for many years, and with today’s focus on security, we see an increasing demand for this to be available in all our products.
Advantages with OSDP
In various projects, OSDP has proven its value and reliability. Although the Wiegand protocol is still prevalent in security and access control systems, OSDP is gradually becoming the preferred choice. Here are some key advantages of using OSDP-enabled RFID readers and Physical Access Control Systems:
- Increased Security: OSDP provides enhanced security through its Secure Channel Protocol, which is essential for securely exchanging data credentials.
- Ease of Installation: OSDP simplifies installation by allowing the use of longer cables, reducing the number of wires needed. This leads to cost savings and a more efficient use of time and resources.
- Open Industry Standard: As an open industry standard, OSDP offers greater flexibility, allowing security professionals to choose devices from different manufacturers. End users can create a customized solution that is easy to upgrade by adding more devices.
- Bi-Directional Communication: OSDP enables communication between the reader and controller, allowing readers to be configured and managed remotely.
In essence, TagMaster’s implementation of OSDP offers enhanced security, flexibility in communication setup, and ease of integration, making it a powerful solution for modern access control and secure communications in environments requiring reliable data exchange.
