Permaconn RapidLink Solves PARKEZI Access Control Challenges Delivering Connectivity With Redundancy.
Permaconn RapidLink Solves PARKEZI Access Control Challenges – If connectivity fails customers can get trapped inside car parks, creating a nightmare for parking station operator, PARKEZI.
“The requirement for reliable, redundant connectivity in carparks is crucial,” said Anthony Andronaco, sales and project manager, PARKEZI.
In its search for the most reliable connectivity, PARKEZI turned to RapidLink by Permaconn. RapidLink 4G Router delivers reliable, resilient, continuous connectivity for all assets and IoT applications.
For PARKEZI, RapidLink helps power the entire parking automation system with always-on connectivity to keep car park traffic flowing. Iy It also supports everything from automatic number plate recognition (ANPR), payment function and intercom connectivity for service calls, through to delivering an exceptional customer experience for carpark visitors – all without trenching.
“RapidLink offers the most effective solution for us, simply plug it in and go,” said Blake McNabb, managing director, PARKEZI.
“It brings our software and hardware online, and off it goes. Performance indicators and analytics are visible in one portal – wonderful!” he said.
Parking systems rely on a stable and continuous network connection. While trenching and direct cabling can achieve this, the associated civil works costs are high, and Wi-Fi alone is often unreliable. Carparks are typically constructed of reinforced concrete which can impact wireless communications, but RapidLink meets these challenges.
“We’re incredibly happy that companies across the access control space like PARKEZI can depend on RapidLink and the Permaconn infrastructure to run their critical operations,” said Andrew Pears, chief executive officer at Permaconn said.
“RapidLink is built from the same secure and reliable Permaconn hardware as our market leading PM54, simplified into a 4G router specifically for access control, camera on poles or any other time you need to connect a device to the internet and require ultra-reliable connection.”
Pears says it was the combined power of RapidLink’s managed dual SIM network and management portal, Permaconn Connect, that instilled PARKEZI with confidence with their choice of vendor and delivered unmatched reliability and control. Plus, he says, data pooling helps PARKEZI manage data usage efficiently across sites.
“Most sites nowadays need a form of redundancy,” Blake says. “RapidLink has its own in-built redundancy, so the chance of downtime is low. And It’s good that Permaconn deals with the telcos on our behalf.”
“Over the past 2 years alone, RapidLink has supported the safe and efficient movement of over 40,000 vehicles across PARKEZI carparks, ensuring smooth and reliable access control and automation through dual-redundancy network routers that deliver continuous connectivity to our parking systems,” Blake said.
PARKEZI operations continue to grow, with strong prospects ahead. Matching that growth, Permaconn plans to introduce a triple-redundant IP path RapidLink capabilities for customers with on-site networks.
