Gated communities
Gates on residential property, with no wire to them
A property manager wants a reader on the back entrance. The access panel is in the leasing office, the gate is at the far corner of the property, and the ground between them is landscaped, paved, or lived on.
Trenching that run is most of the job. On an occupied property, it also means weeks of disruption for the residents. A KNECT wireless bridge links the gate to the panel by radio.
Gates Aether RF bridges cover on residential property
Each of these is a gate or entrance an access panel on the property can't reach by wire.
- Apartment gates
- HOA entrances
- A new pedestrian gate on an existing property
- A new vehicle gate
- Gates added to a build-to-rent community
Which KNECT setup a community needs
One gate takes a pair of KNECT Endpoints. Two or more gates take a Gateway.
One gate: Point to Point
KEP-202
One KNECT Endpoint wires to the access panel and a second one goes at the gate.
Two to eight gates: One to Many
OTM-K
A Gateway at the panel runs up to four gates, and eight with a second Gateway. Each gate links straight back, so the third gets the same range as the first.
One kit covered a whole community
A build-to-rent community in Phoenix added two pedestrian gates at the far end of the property, with the rental housing between them and the access panel. A single One to Many Kit covered both.
- Distance
- 1,100 feet from the gates to the panel
- In the way
- Rows of rental housing
- Property size
- 2,500 by 700 feet
- Hardware
- A single One to Many Kit: a Gateway, a Tether and two Endpoints
When a community needs a different product
A KNECT bridge extends an access panel that's already on the property.
- No access control in the buildings
- Readers on interior doors in a building with no panel need a controller that makes the decision itself. KNECT Core Access (coming soon)
- Wiegand readers, no portal
- For one gate with Wiegand readers, the Wiegand Wave 150 uses the same radio for less, without OSDP or the portal. Wiegand Wave 150
