As seen on SDM

The access control sector is viewed with much optimism due to increasing adoption of new technologies and integration with other security systems, among other factors fueling rising growth.

According to SDM’s 2023 Industry Forecast, more than 1 in 2 (56 percent) security professionals expect revenue from access control systems (on-premise and cloud-based) to increase in 2023, marking a healthy 10-point jump from the previous year.

Farpointe Readers OSDP Verified by SIA

Farpointe Data was among the first three manufacturers to have earned the Security Industry Association's (SIA's) OSDP Verified mark on its mobile, contactless smartcard and proximity solutions.

The Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP)—an IEC global standard—provides interoperability among various companies' access control and security products.

According to SIA, the OSDP Verified mark instills confidence in integrators, specifiers and practitioners that devices have been tested and verified to meet stringent SIA OSDP standards.
