Farpointe Data, an access control industry OEM for RFID credentials and readers, reports that all its products and their subcomponents are shipped fully consolidated to customers from the company’s headquarters in the United States, and they are not facing any lead-time restrictions on any standard items. This includes the CONEKT mobile readers and credentials, as well as proximity, contactless smartcard and long-range products.
Scott Lindley, general manager of Farpointe Data says: “Some electronic access control manufacturers have been forced to warn their customers that certain models are presently unavailable due to a lack of semiconductors or other subcomponents not being delivered to them because of production problems in Asia or other COVID related troubles.
“To bolster our claim that all our products are being made available in a timely fashion, we are producing an email sent every week listing the lead-times of all our products. As of last week, our longest lead-time on any product was seven days. The mode is currently four working days.”
Lindley adds that the proximity, smart card and mobile readers are also fully encased with epoxy potting and SIA Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) Verified.
