“The WPR400 Wireless Portable Reader lets users extend the reach of their access control systems,” explains Karen Keating, Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies Portfolio Marketing Manager, Schlage Electronic Locking.  “For instance, for a field trip, a school could use the reader to check in students for each bus.
