Security FAQ · Gates & parkades

What is a UHF reader and how does hands-free parkade access work?

A long-range UHF reader detects an approved vehicle credential, commonly mounted inside the windshield, as the vehicle approaches the controlled entrance. When the credential is valid, the gate-control system can authorize entry. Reader location, lane geometry, credential placement and gate timing all affect reliable operation.
