Wednesday, June 23, 2010

Nanyang Technological University, Singapore recently placed an order with LEGIC Security’s for its CardLink solution to manage access to its campus dorms. Access to the campus’ 6,000 student dormitories will be managed by this new solution, which allows students to obtain their constantly changing access privileges at online reader and then carry it to (offline) standalone terminals.

Since the battery is integrated in the standalone cylinder and not in the LEGIC badge, flexibility and safety are ensured even during the constant changes being made with students moving in and out of the dormitories. [end]
