The E-Plex 5800 series, no software required

Thursday, March 18, 2010

Kaba Access Control recently unveiled its new E-Plex 5800 series, which features a stand-alone access control system approved by GSA to meet FIPS 201 requirements.

The CoreStreet Enabled E-Plex 5800 series incorporates a variety of options and features to accommodate to the customer’s preferences and applications.


Users have two methods of handling the system: without software by enrolling FIPS 201 cards right at the reader, or using software to check card validation against the Federal Bridge, import photos, set access schedules, retrieve audit trail and other features.

The E-Plex 5800 series is on the FIPS 201 Approved Product List and is now available for shipment. [end] 

The General Services Administration (GSA) has implemented its first cloud-based physical access system at the Neal Smith Federal Building in Des Moines, Iowa.

The GSA contracted with BridgePoint Systems to utilize its TrustAlert Physical Access Control Systems. BridgePoint partnered with EmbarkIT to install the system, which replaced the GSA’s 10-year-old legacy system. The system leverages the GSA’s Kansas City, Missouri-based WAN and remote IT infrastructure, which allows the building to shrink its carbon footprint.
