System Resources

Modern access control systems must process large amounts of data and transform it into information that can help us identify and prevent threats from becoming reality. IP connectivity, either through wired Ethernet, IEEE 802.11 WiFi or HDBaseT, is increasingly common. Energy efficiency is another critical consideration, especially as security systems cover both indoor and outdoor venues. Microsemi’s Power over Ethernet (PoE) midspan injectors provide a simple and easy way to reliably add power and data to PoE-enabled access control points in indoor and outdoor situations.

IP security networks also depend on accurate and precise network timing synchronization. Microsemi leads the industry in NTP servers, which connect to multiple synchronization sources, including GPS inputs, to accurately distribute timing via the NTP protocol.
