Vanderbilt HD500-Cotag - Heavy duty card reader

Product Profile

Vanderbilt has expanded its portfolio to include Cotag starter and door kits for all of its SiPass systems - SiPass integrated, SiPass Entro and SiPass Entro Lite.

One of the major benefits of Cotag technology is that it can read both active (long-range) and passive (proximity) cards and tags, which makes it possible to mix both kinds of readers in a single system.

Almost every site has at least one door that would benefit from a hands-free access control solution - by choosing Cotag technology it is possible to install a Cotag hands-free reader at that door and Cotag proximity readers at the other doors. Users can be issued either active or passive cards and tags, depending on their needs.

The resulting system provides a high level of security and convenience for users and system administrators alike. It is also very cost-efficient in that you only have to give active cards or tags to the users that really need them.

Cotag technology is ideal for a wide range of environments including:

  • Hospitals
  • Schools
  • Manufacturing plants
  • Office buildings
  • Airports, harbours, etc.
  • Banks
  • Museums
  • Laboratories
  • Anywhere where disabled people would have difficulty presenting a proximity card or tag
