Nedap Access Control @ Security Management.
The history of Nedap begins in 1929, when the company was founded in the Netherlands. Since 1980, Nedap has been one of the recognized leaders in the development and production of electronic access control systems.
Since 1949, the company has been listed on the Euronext stock exchange. Nedap is ISO 9001 certified. The innovative nature of the company's development can best be illustrated by the history of Nedap Access Control product development. We present it to the attention of the readers of the TZ.
1978 – PocketPass card
The identifier, created according to the standards of surface-mounted electronic installation, had a thickness of 8 mm. The PocketPass card allowed identification at a distance of up to 60 cm in combination with the control unit (Control unit). This is the first card for an access control system using Hands Free technology without a battery inside.

A device for connecting Accessor and SimpleXS controllers via LAN.
For operation of WinXS2000 /WinXS1000 software via LAN.
1998 – New proximity antennas of the RefleXS series
Newly designed antennas of three standard sizes with different reading distances.
1998 – SMA
Software platform for graphic presentation of security status at the facility and for working with security alarms.
1999 – MaXS Cards
Hands Free technology cards with multiple signal encryption for authentication according to the DES standard and ISO standard sizes.
1999 – Telephone connection
Infrastructure for telephone communication with access control modules located at remote points.
2000 – Appearance of AEOS
A fundamentally new IP-oriented security system with a modular design of software and hardware.

The Security Level Management option in AEOS software allows security personnel to change access rights for people and vehicles at any time with a single click of the mouse.
2007 – Integration of passport scanning devices
Integration of third-party passport scanning devices allows for unprecedented speed and accuracy in automating the visitor registration procedure with the entry of user data and photos.
2007 – AEOS faces graphical user interface
The AEOS faces interface transforms the familiar text-based interface of an access control system into an intuitive solution for managing security at a facility. The system has a highly customizable graphical web interface.
2007 – Introduction of the new Convexs series of readers
Convexs readers reduce the problems associated with replacing the card/reader technology used at a facility with Mifare Classic or DESFire technology in both existing Nedap XS systems and Nedap AEOS Enterprise systems.
2007 – Transit Entry Reader Hands Free technology reader for door installation and other remote identification applications.
2007 – Nexs Cards
The new Nexs series of contactless cards with a chip is Nedap’s answer to the ever-increasing demands for highly secure access control cards. These cards are protected by the 3DES standard (triple DES encryption standard).
2008 – Security Controller This is the first controller that combines all security system functions in one common device. Instead of separate access control devices, video data storage, PLC functionality, intercom, the security controller combines all these functions in one module. The advantages of this solution include a significant reduction in investment in the hardware of the system and its installation, while simultaneously obtaining greater functionality and the ability to integrate with other systems.
