RF IDeas has announced the release of its new pcProx Enroll reader for physical access control.

According to RF IDeas, the reader is compatible with more than 300 million physical access proximity cards, allowing employees to use their building access card for other forms of identification and security throughout the workplace.

The plug-n-play reader requires no software for deployment, and is available either embedded in a keyboard or through standard wedge-type housing.

Other features include flash memory and standard USB drivers supplied by operating systems such as Windows or Mac.

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.
