Finnish identification solutions provider 7039 Idesco is deploying its access control readers for the expansion of the City of Oulu’s access control system.  City systems integrators Stanley Security and Capitis Control chose the readers to enable access by thousands of municipal employees across two distinctive systems, in almost one hundred buildings.

Idesco says the City of Oulu’s expanding access control system will begin saving money through its ongoing deployment of the latest generation of eco20 energy-saving readers. An important goal throughout the City of Oulu’s expansion has been an easily managed access control system that frees their employees to streamline their daily routines of travel between different offices and sites throughout their day, using single access cards.

Both Stanley Security and Capitis Control had worked with the City of Oulu for several years.  Petri Tomperi, CEO of Capitis Control, adds, “Deploying Idesco readers provides a distinct benefit to us as a system integrator. With Idesco readers, we have no maintenance costs from broken readers. Even when exposed to moisture or temperature changes, they operate just fine, regardless of where we install them.”

Idesco claim that its readers allow easy technology updates and accommodate a variety of technologies and configurations, and the compatibility of its readers with both Stanley Security’s and Capitis Control’s different systems illustrates the benefits of open access control technology.  Idesco readers were wholly compatible and worked perfectly with the Mifare transponders used by City of Oulu employees in both systems. Since Idesco’s flexible reader technology also allows very convenient upgrades, any future system upgrades or enhancements will not only be possible but cost-effective and convenient.

“We have a long experience with Idesco readers, and they have always functioned perfectly” says Heikki Kontsas, risk manager for the City of Oulu.
