Description
The replacement of older 125 kHz proximity technology with smart card 13.56
MHz readers continues to forge ahead. Together with the changing business
environment where demand for better security at reduced costs is increasing,
the need to consolidate physical and logical security is also set to take hold
over the coming years. The rate of convergence of IT and physical security
continues to accelerate throughout the world and has led to the creation of a
new breed of access control products with an IP influence. These trends alone
will ensure that the access control market grows at a steady pace for many
years to come.
