AMTEL successfully completes installation of RFID tracking
for fleet of vehicles in Middle East
AMTEL has
installed for a major contractor in United Arab Emirates
(Al-Jaber) Active RFID tags on all equipment in its large
fleet with controls at 14 different entrances and exits
throughout the country. Since Al-Jaber is involved in large
earth-moving projects, they use large and complex machinery
that is transported on specialized flat-bed trucks. Each
such truck may hold up to 5 different pieces of equipment,
each of which has an individual tag. The system at each
entrance tracks all the equipment on the vehicle and keeps a
nationwide inventory of the status and availability of these
pieces of equipment. The system uses an industrial metal tag
with a 5 year battery life. Each entrance has multiple
readers ensuring that all the tags on the passing vehicles
in lanes that are up to 24 feet wide are read.

AMTEL to install a complete
Integrated System for Residents & Visitors
AMTEL
and FocusMicro Inc. have joined hands to provide a system
that integrates Access Control, Vehicle Gate Entry Control
System, Telephone entry with built-in CCTV Camera and
Elevator Control System effectively with the use of
Proximity Cards and RFID Tags. Residents will have Proximity
Card to enter in to the building and get access to doors
inside the building. Residents entering the building from
the street level lobby (walk-ups) will present their access
card to the reader at the exterior doors to gain access to
the main lobby. The same Proximity Card will also allow
residents to gain entry or exit to garage while they are on
foot. Residents will also have RFID Tag which has unique
identification number; these RFID Tags will give hands free
vehicle entry and exit to garage. The system also
incorporates Tele Entry controlling Elevator Cab for
visitors and guests. For more information on the complete
system email us.
