Access Control

Post readers

by Mark Rowe

Physical access control from the US product firm HID Global has been deployed by Norway Post. The postal operator deployed Genuine HID multiCLASS SE readers and multi-technology cards at its Robsrud Terminal, from where more than 60 percent of all the mail in Norway is handled.

The Norwegian postal operator was seeking a card that would work with different types of card readers. The organisation wanted too a multi-functional card for applications beyond access control. It was looking to deploy an access system that would enable them to migrate from existing legacy, to more advanced, technologies.

Arnfinn Nordheim, Security Director with Norway Post, said: “Now we have a multi-functional card that can be used for secure access control, discounts on railways, payments in canteens and even for access to vehicles. In addition, the solution has improved our security and lowered our costs, since it is much easier to replace a card than a key if you lose it.”

Volker Kunz, Director of Sales, Europe with HID Global, said: “Our goal is to deliver an extraordinary customer experience our customers have come to expect. Our access control migration solution enables Norway Post to benefit from multiple possibilities around secure identities today and also provides them a future proof solution ready for new requirements they may have in the future.”

From a business perspective, HID says that its standard iCLASS and HID Prox credential provides a single-card solution that also resulted in cost savings. Also, it can be integrated with Norway Post’s existing access system, allowing for migration from magnetic stripe cards to contactless smart cards.
