University of
Virginia
Protects
Students and
Prepares for the
Future with CS
Gold and the
AD-Series
Ithaca, New York—The
CBORD Group, Inc., the
leading provider of campus
card and integrated security
solutions to colleges and
universities, is pleased to
announce that the University
of Virginia
(Charlottesville, VA) is
improving campus safety and
preparedness for the future
by implementing the
AD-Series electronic locking
system from CBORD®
partner Ingersoll Rand®.
Fully integrated with
CBORD’s CS Gold®
campus card system (already
in place at the school),
AD-400 readers are now
installed in the
university’s residence halls
to control access using two
credentials: card swipe and
PIN entry.
The
AD-400 wireless online
reader was selected for its
sturdy nature, compliance
with ANSI standards, and
real-time remote management
capabilities. The modular
nature of the AD-Series
makes it easy to change
credentials as needed
without removing the lock
from the door. Furthermore,
the AD-400’s “wake up on
radio” feature enables quick
and efficient remote
lockdowns, vastly improving
security during an
emergency.
The
University of Virginia uses
CS Gold to manage access
control, privileges, and
purchasing for its more than
20,000 cardholders, and
recently upgraded its system
to the latest version.
Version 6 offers a variety
of benefits including:
-
Email or
text
notifications
to
cardholders
for
important
alerts and
marketing
messages.
-
Support for
Oracle®
11g, Windows®
2008, and
64-bit
technology.
-
New search
feature,
improving
navigation
and
accessibility.
-
IT security
enhancements,
greatly
reducing
chances of
costly
system
compromises.
-
And much
more.
“Upgrading to CS Gold
version 6 enables us to
better serve our customers
while enhancing our data
security, and the AD-Series
electronic locks are
valuable additions to our
implementation,” said Gary
Conley, Facilities and
Systems Engineer, University
of Virginia. “Our system is
more secure than before and
we are poised to take
advantage of new products
and features.”
“From classrooms to sports
complexes, labs, residence
halls, common areas, and
beyond, the new AD-Series
from Schlage security
platform was designed with
the understanding that no
two campuses, or their
security applications, are
the same,” said Beverly
Vigue, Ingersoll Rand
Security Technologies, Vice
President, Education
Markets. “While protecting
people in its facilities is
a university’s most
important security priority,
CBORD’s solutions for campus
ID systems in conjunction
with the AD-Series
electronic locks also
protect its access control
investment. The modular
design of the new AD-Series
security platform makes it
easy to add more locks or
upgrade credentials,
networking options, or
software without replacing
the locks. In the future,
such upgrades can be as easy
as changing a module from a
mag to a smart card.”
“CS
Gold is a recognized leader
in the campus card industry,
and its tight integration
with the AD-Series combines
cutting-edge security with
efficient system
management,” said Cindy
McCall, Vice President,
Marketing, The CBORD Group,
Inc. “We are pleased to see
the University of Virginia
realizing the benefits of
our valuable partnership
with Ingersoll Rand and the
powerful dividends created
by our integrated campus
solutions.”
