Bolton College has installed an extensive Impro IXP220 access control system, a BPT video door entry system and BPT rising bollards to its new Deane Road campus. This is the largest Impro installation in the UK to date.
This £90 million development – one of the largest planned investments in further education in the North West – is protected by a Impro IXP220 access control system, which operates across 95 per cent of all doors, including entrances and exits; around 400 doors in total.
The IXP220 is an online access control system for up to 10,000 users. It is suitable for use with a range of readers, including Multi-Discipline Readers as installed at Bolton College. These were chosen because of their ability to be used with Mifare cards for cashless vending, which the college’s IT team had committed to use. As a result, fewer cards are required, saving the college money and allowing for quick and simple addition or deletion of cards on the system. Facilities Maintenance Manager Phil Lee said BPT provided "very good technical support".
In addition to the Impro IXP220 access control system, a BPT video door entry system and four BPT rising bollards have been installed in the rear car park. For more information, please contact BPT Security Systems on 01442 230800, at www.bpt.co.uk or email [email protected].
