Anviz launches OSDP-powered access control solutions, setting new industry standards
Anviz has announced launch of its access control solutions powered by Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP). The two new offerings the SAC921 single-door access controller and C2KA-OSDP RFID (radio frequency identification) keypad reader are future-proof systems packed with technology and smart features. Both solutions seek to ensure customer safety and peace of mind, providing a security solution for modern world.
“Mounting concerns surrounding personal data security have raised awareness about the importance of digital safety in recent years, which is expected to drive significant changes in safety standards for data storage and transfer,” says Felix, product manager of Anviz. “Aiming to take the lead in transforming how personal data is safeguarded, we launched our latest OSDP-based solutions equipped with tailor-made features for businesses looking for more advanced access control systems. We also believe SIA OSDP, the most widely-recognised standard for access control systems, will play a pivotal role in addressing security concerns by empowering manufacturers to offer enhanced security options with diverse functionalities to global users.”
SAC921 single-door access controller
SAC921 is a (power over ethernet) PoE-powered access control system that offers flexibility and simplicity with a range of access control interfaces supporting alarm input, perimeter security, and device control. The SAC921 provides an upgrade to the traditional Wiegand-based access control systems, streamlining device operations while offering improved security features and better third-party compatibility.
Due to the adoption of PoE, OSDP, and built-in management software, installation of the SAC921 is more cost-effective. Via Anviz’s CrossChex remote control system, users can also access a more set of security options, such as personnel identity verification, access control, and time attendance management system, and customizable security capabilities.
C2KA-OSDP RFID keypad reader
The C2KA-OSDP RFID keypad reader ushers in a new era of PIN code access, delivering unrivaled convenience for both credentialed users and visitors alike. The reader goes beyond traditional access control by supporting multi-factor authentication with seamless integration of various credentials and access methods.
The keypad reader’s security capabilities are made possible by OSDP, securing connections and safeguarding against hacks. Unlike traditional Wiegand-based systems, OSDP-powered devices enable bidirectional communication between controllers and card readers using RS485, allowing for real-time monitoring of the card reader’s status. This enables access control software to monitor, control, and encrypt data between the access control controller and card reader, delivering advanced tamper protection and usage tracking.
OSDP’s key value come from its superior flexibility. Data shared between OSDP access control and readers are no longer confined to fixed-length data fields, such as 24 or 36, with AES128 encryption ensuring higher data security. As a member of SIA (Security Industry Association), Anviz intends to introduce more SIA OSDP Verified products to the global markets, allowing customers worldwide to enjoy higher security, richer functionality, greater ease of use, and increased interoperability brought by OSDP.
The packaged access control solution that combines the SAC921 access controller and C2KA-OSDP RFID keypad reader is scheduled to be launched in the second half of 2023. Anviz is also planning to upgrade its products to support greater compatibility with third-party solutions. This will be tailored to the needs of various industries, including education, government, commercial real estate, retail, manufacturing, healthcare, and hospitality users, allowing them access to an integrated security control experience.
