SALTO Systems provides secure access control to Caerleon Campus student accommodation village 
(29/10/2008)
The Caerleon Campus of the University of Wales Newport is also to several academic schools including education, art, fashion design, media & design, and also hosts courses from the School of Health and Social Sciences and the Centre for Communiy and Life Long Learning. The Caerleon Campus has chosen SALTO Systems to provide secure access control for its purpose built student accommodation village. The university awarded the contract to approved SALTO Inspired Business Partner Gem Security Centre Ltd.
“The new contract is part of a rolling program to update security and replace outdated mechanical locks and keys across campus,” comments Jim Caola, MD of Gem Security Centre. “Having security that is reliable and dependable is obviously important for a building housing so many young people. With our ability to customise both the system hardware and software, our solutions have added flexibility to the security system at the University and we have designed a highly secure and flexible access control system to meet all their needs.
The first phase has been to secure a number of main entrance doors to the student accommodation village with SALTO MIFARE wall readers and online control units controlled via SALTO SQL Departmental software,” Caola continues.
Stephen Godber, Director of Estates at the University of Wales Newport comments: “We’re very impressed with the SALTO product. Its advanced system design gives us so much more control over our student accommodation security and it can easily grow to meet ongoing requirements.
We’re already planning for the second phase and will be looking to expand the card system further across campus, combining the access control function with cashless vending, print and photo copying etc all wrapped into one package.”
