The RFID product manufacturer STid and its installer Unicacces were selected by the Banque Populaire Provençale et Corse (BPPC) to provide access control at head office .
BPPC sought an access control system not only to ensure security consistent with brand image, but to have a single multi-application card and centralise security management. Besides a multi-application card, BPPC was looking for RFID card readers to secure access to the building and its parking lot. Installed were Architect readers, UHF systems and dual frequency cards.
BPPC installed about 40 upgradeable Architect readers to secure and manage flows for sensitive areas: external doors, elevators, internal ground floor doors, access gates, and server and IT rooms etc. This range works with URC UHF readers, to secure and control access to the parking lot.
The card reader was chosen not just for security; integration into the surrounds was also a selection criterion. The new Head Office is a bright, aesthetic, modern building. As the only visible part of the system, it was crucial to offer readers that blend into their environment, matching BPPC colours.
STid CEO, Vincent Dupart, says: “A key challenge for a company like BPPC is to successfully manage diverse resources, security levels, and staff mobility. However, it must not neglect its image by installing readers that miss the bar in terms of aesthetics and security. The solutions that we offer can meet all current and future requirements.”
