Driver based identification
The driver-based vehicle identification solution consists of two elements: a building access card and an in-vehicle Booster. The Booster is mounted on the inside of a vehicle’s windshield. The booster assists the TRANSIT reader to identify and authenticate the card ID. The TRANSIT reader transmits the combination of the card ID and booster ID to any access control system. If this combination is authorized, access is granted and the gate opens automatically
Building access
By removing the access card from the Booster, it can be used for building access. The Booster solution eliminates the need to issue (new) cards, making it easy to integrate into existing installations. As the solution operates only when the access card and the Booster are combined, the removal of the access card ensures a high level of security.
Supported Cards
The TRANSIT Booster comes in five versions; a Booster for low-frequency cards, Smartcards, Smartcards including advanced tag authentication (Ultimate mode), an ultimate booster specifically for Legic cards, and an Ultimate Booster for HID cards.
Windshield mounting
As the TRANSIT Booster is equipped with suction pads on the backside, it can be mounted onto the windshield easily. Thanks to this convenient design, installing the Booster only takes seconds.
Sustainable design
The TRANSIT Booster uses two AAA-type replaceable batteries with an expected lifetime of 5 years after which the batteries can be replaced for more years of service. The product is produced in The Netherlands with an eye for sustainable sourcing, processing, labor, and reducing the logistic footprint.
