PUBLIC SAFETY
LAW ENFORCEMENT
THE INDUSTRY & COMPANY
Innovative access control for public safety operations
Efficient and secure access control systems are crucial for law enforcement operations. The customer, a law enforcement agency, relied on low-frequency RFID tags for their access control system. The short range of the low-frequency RFID was used on access cards/badges, key fobs or vehicle entry systems with the goal of enhancing security.
THE CHALLENGE & PAIN POINTS
Compatibility issues with legacy systems
The customer faced challenges with their previous device, which failed to meet the evolving needs of their operations. After five years of use, they encountered compatibility issues and a lack of support for low-frequency RFID, which was essential for their access control system. They sought a solution that would integrate both high and low-frequency RFID functionality into a single device to ensure compatibility, efficiency, and convenience in the field.
THE TAILORED SOLUTION
Integrating dual-frequency RFID functionality into the K120
To address the customer’s access control needs, Getac customized the K120 tablet by adding a high/low-frequency RFID reader, enabling full compatibility with both high-frequency and low-frequency RFID tags. This solution allowed the customer to seamlessly use their existing RFID tags while still benefiting from the rugged, high-performance capabilities of the K120, designed specifically for the demanding public safety environment.
THE RESULTS & BENEFITS
Seamless RFID compatibility and enhanced operational efficiency
By integrating the dual-frequency RFID reader, Getac provided the customer with a solution that ensured compatibility within their access control system while improving operational efficiency. The customer was able to continue using their existing low-frequency RFID tags without any issues. Instead of investing in multiple specialized RFID readers for different frequency tags, this single dual-frequency device can now handle multiple use cases, reducing future hardware costs and infrastructure replacement. The solution delivered reliable performance and operational flexibility, making it a perfect fit for their needs in public safety operations.
