US-based transmission and networking equipment manufacturer 30 ComNet is to enter the access-control market with the introduction of two systems in the CNAccess range; the CNA100, a two to eight door solution for smaller applications and the CNA200 for up to 32 doors for bigger applications.


CNAccess utilises embedded intelligence and does not require special software or a dedicated PC, providing users with the flexibility to manage a system from any location with internet access. Both products support standard Wiegand devices, Schlage AD Series electronic locks, various card formats and technologies such as proximity, smart card, magnetic stripe and Bluetooth.

The CNA100 can be upgraded to the capacity of the CNA200 with a software upgrade. Both CNAccess products are network compatible and operate seamlessly with any ComNet IP product.

However, there remain issues from manufacturer to manufacturer with interpretation of what are supposed to be common standards The 'promise' of Ethernet was that different devices such as IP video cameras and traffic signals could be easily integrated into communications networks, simplifying the process of transporting data over copper, fibre or wirelessly. However, although Ethernet devices have come to pre

    ComNet extends Wiegand distances
    Communication Networks (ComNet) is introducing a fibre-optic distance extending interface that allows optical connectivity between one card reader and its associated door or gate locking hardware, and any Wiegand, Magstripe, or F/2F-based control panel. The ComNet FDW1000 transmits Wiegand data optically over multimode or single-mode fibre at distances up to 3.5km or 40km respectively.

    Wireless bridges widen options for ITS upgrades
    Antaira Technologies’ marketing engineer Brian Roth explains why the increasing capacity of wireless bridges is reducing the cost of expanding and upgrading ITS networks. With more than half of the world’s population now living in cities, the need for efficient transportation of both people and goods has never been greater and that pressure is unlikely to ease any time soon. Indeed in many regions of the world the rate of urbanisation is still increasing as the demand for rural workers continues to decline.
