Share Zabezpieczanie więzień w Finlandii od 30 lat Od 30 lat fińskie zakłady karne są zabezpieczone tysiącami czytników kontroli dostępu – wszystkie zostały wyprodukowane przez Idesco.

Share Securing Finnish prisons for 30 years Finland’s correctional sites have been secured for 30 years by thousands of access control readers – all made by Idesco. In an ongoing practice over the years, older reader versions have been replaced by new ones during renovations, such that all the newest prisons now use the latest encryption technologies. Correctional sites are a very special, highly demarcated access control environment. That is because, at every moment, the movement of personnel and prisoners must be monitored to preserve security and safety. Therefore, cell doors as we ..read more

Share How to update firmware? Updates to your readers’ firmware significantly extend not just their lifespan – but your entire system’s also.

How can I strengthen my overall system security? RFID security systems have historically relied on cards and tags, readers communicating with them, the card data those readers shared with their hosting system, and of course, systems’ users. When tags or any other kind of credential data are left unprotected, it clearly puts a system’s security at risk. For example, a few years ago, cloners and hackers began targeting cards’ unprotected unique serial number (UID) data. Their attacks began multiplying once hackers realized UIDs could be easily cloned to a new card, providing anyone unauthorized ..read more

Share What are IK-, IP-, and Flammability ratings? Ever wondered what ‘IP67‘ or ‘IK-10‘ means, or felt bewildered about our products’ flammability class or temperature ratings? You can find these terms in our datasheets, but what do they mean and why are they important? IP (or ingress protection) is commonly called Protection Class in manufacturing. The two digits Idesco products display identifies the nature and amount of protection a product has from liquids and particles like dust or snow granules. Liquids and particles can individually or separately hurt a reader’s performance, ev ..read more

Today, we still develop and provide RFID solutions for a wide variety of non-access control uses. For example, our readers were selected to help streamline processing and improve service for MariMatic’s residential waste collection site. Global cable manufacturer Prysmian uses I ..read more
