Identiv Brings Government-Grade, Low-Cost, Easy-to-Install, Scalable, Power over Ethernet Access Control to the Edge with the...
September 26 2017 - 8:00AM
Identiv, Inc. (NASDAQ:INVE) today opened the door to a new
generation of high-security access solutions, launching the Hirsch
Mx-1 Controller at ASIS International 63rd Annual Seminar and
Exhibits (ASIS 2017). Powered over Ethernet, Mx-1 brings
full-featured Hirsch access control to the edge, manages a single
door, and plugs directly into enterprise environments. Pushing
access control to the edge means lower cost, less maintenance, less
burden on the network, and more time to focus on the important data
being processed and areas being protected. The compromises required
by other edge controllers with fewer features, lower power, and
less security are eliminated with Mx-1, which brings the complete
feature set, security, and scalability of Hirsch’s Mx line to
single-door installations, whether at the edge or centralized.
Ideal for commercial, institutional, and government users, the
Hirsch Mx-1 Controller for the first time allows the complete
Hirsch feature set at the edge, surpassing the basic
who-goes-where-and-when access control programming of other edge
controllers. Mx-1 includes the full breadth of advanced Hirsch
features, including anti-passback, threat level management,
lockdown, two-person rule, entry/exit control, and Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm. Leveraging the updated IEEE
802.3at-2009 Power over Ethernet (PoE) standard, Mx-1 keeps power
local at the door, meaning high power levels and improved power
management.
When connected to Identiv’s Hirsch Velocity Software for access
control and security management, Mx-1 seamlessly integrates into
any enterprise environment. Mx-1 supports the entire range of
Identiv’s multi-technology uTrust TS Cards and TS Readers, Wiegand
readers, RS-485 Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) readers, and
Identiv’s Hirsch TS ScramblePad, the most popular, secure
electronic keypad. Access control original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs) can integrate this powerful, price- and performance-leading
controller through Identiv’s Mx software development kit (SDK).
“Mx-1 provides the best of all worlds to our access control
customers,” said Mark Allen, Identiv General Manager, Physical
Access. “Powered over the Ethernet network, Mx-1 minimizes cable
runs and wiring costs, making full-featured and secure access
control available and affordable at just about every door in a
facility. It contains the same powerful features as our larger
Mx-2, Mx-4, and Mx-8 multi-door panels, and can reside on the same
Velocity system as those panels, serving the needs of our largest
as well as our smallest system implementations. Mx-1 will also be
supported by Cisco-focused Identiv Connected Physical Access
Manager (ICPAM) 3.1, slated for release by the end of October 2017,
and will be exclusively available on the Cisco Commerce Workspace
(CCW).”
Mx-1 is priced to compete, allowing installations at a lower
price point than buying panels that support multi-doors when only
one is needed. Designed in consultation with Identiv’s dealers,
installers, and customers, Mx-1 is built from the ground up,
featuring details like wiring markings that are prominent and
spaced to allow easy installation, LEDs positioned for easy access
during and after installation and easy diagnosing, and simple
mounting of single units and stacking of multiple units. Mx-1 makes
installations faster, easier, and more cost-effective for end
users, and more profitable for installers and dealers.
“Network edge design and PoE lowers the overall cost of access
control at a door, resulting in more customers able to control more
doors — doors that could not be controlled before,” said Joe White,
Identiv partner and A-1 Corporate Hardware President, Springfield,
Ill. “We support many large customers with Hirsch systems at
corporate facilities that need the same level of security and
features at smaller offices around the world. They have been
waiting for a product like this. We’re also seeing a strong demand
for this type of product in our education and local government
markets, at teleconference and network rooms, and at doors that may
be a long distance from a centralized panel. Having the full Hirsch
feature set places Mx-1 above other edge controllers, allowing us
to do more for our customers.”
