Telaeris, Inc., known for its handheld solutions in Physical Access Control Systems (PACS), has joined forces with DDS Ltd. to facilitate a seamless integration between Telaeris' XPressEntry platform and the Amadeus 8 security management system.
This collaboration aims to expand access control beyond traditional fixed readers, allowing organisations to validate credentials, confirm identities, and manage personnel in the field via XPressEntry's portable badge and biometric readers. This system maintains centralised oversight through Amadeus 8.
Amadeus 8 security management platform
The Amadeus 8 platform provides a sophisticated, multi-site access control and security management solution that centralises credential management and security operations in a user-friendly interface.
It supports intricate environments requiring adaptability, scalability, and real-time operational visibility. With XPressEntry's integration, Amadeus 8 customers can now deploy portable badge readers to perform crucial security functions in various environments:
- Handheld Badge Verification: Enables credential validation and identity authentication on the move in areas unsuitable for fixed readers, all while maintaining current occupancy data.
- Emergency Evacuation Mustering: Facilitates the rapid accounting for personnel and visitors during emergencies, enhancing response times and ensuring compliance with safety regulations.
- Corporate Events and Training: Utilises existing security credentials to control access for meetings, training, and corporate events, including the ability to restrict access when necessary.
- Handheld Biometric Verification: Integrates high-security procedures using biometric and multi-factor authentication to fortify identity and permission checks in sensitive zones.
- Entry and Exit Tracking: Monitors facility ingress and egress to maintain precise occupancy records and improve security team awareness in real-time.
Other applications
Additional scenarios for using XPressEntry handheld devices include managing time and attendance
Additional scenarios for using XPressEntry handheld devices include managing time and attendance, verifying bus entries, tracking guests and visitors, enforcing remote parking protocols, enrolling mobile users, and conducting surveys related to badges, as well as managing confined spaces.
Partnership benefits
“We are excited to partner with DDS and bring XPressEntry handheld badge and biometric readers into the Amadeus 8 ecosystem,” stated Dr. David Carta, CEO of Telaeris.
“Security teams increasingly need the ability to verify badges and account for employee safety beyond using traditional access control readers. This integration allows organisations to extend their existing Amadeus 8 investment into the field, giving them additional tools to increase safety and security for facilities they already manage.”
Enhanced security access
Emmanuel Bitton, V.P. S&M at DDS, remarked, “The integration of the Amadeus 8 software with the XPressEntry handheld readers opens new strategic opportunities for DDS and Telaeris, combining mobility, performance, and enhanced security to meet the growing needs of the market.”
This partnership combines DDS’ robust Amadeus 8 access control platform with Telaeris’ portable and biometric readers, thereby establishing secure access control and personnel management capabilities in locations where traditional fixed infrastructure is not feasible. Together, these solutions provide a mobile-driven approach to security operations while maintaining enterprise standards of reliability, accountability, and compliance.
