Are there circumstances where the wireless solution is especially attractive?
A. Yes there are. Installation of wiring has always been a significant component an access control system’s costs but there are some cases where costs become extreme and prohibitive. One example is where the wire would have to be run through several reinforced concrete walls or floors that don’t currently have any conduits. The cost to drill through the concrete can be very high. Another example is where a public thoroughfare may pass through an industrial complex or campus. If cableways are not existing under the road it may be both time consuming and expensive to work with the controlling entity to get permission for cabling. A wireless solution is especially attractive in both of these examples.
