Can Do It All… Richard Pearson Support Manager – Grosvenor Technology
N-TEC Access Control & Security Management • Integration made simple. CANDO IT ALL
Can Do It All… N-TEC Access Control, the way forward? SATEONTM Simplex Conference – Dalaman 2010
N-TEC Update • Last year we spoke about the road map for the N-TEC SATEON product stream and what features and benefits it would offer • I am pleased to say that after an initial delay N-TEC/SATEON is now on target • Over the last 12 months we have been working incredibly hard on both our core Hardware and Software solution, as you will see shortly • We have employed more developers to ensure we can deliver a state of the art product combining the latest technology and ‘Apple’ like simplicity and design • From valuable customer feedback we are radically altering our N-TEC hardware solution to best cater for your markets
The Dilemma……… • What is the basic question security developers continually wrestle with? • Where is the line between low-end and high-end Access Control systems? • The two have never really come together!! • Your typical development company is either successful in one area or the other • BUT RARLEY IN BOTH!?!?
N-TEC SATEON Access • N-TEC SATEON is a two pronged development stream • We can address both the major issues; • The high volume, low-end market • The low volume, high-end market • Today’s low-end systems are manufactured to a price • And high-end systems demand features and controls that low-end, cost saving solutions, will never be able to achieve.
N-TEC SATEON Access • So that we don’t have to force ‘commercial limitations’ into the SATEON software, or • Produce another common controller that we de-populate for the lower end systems • We are manufacturing two different controllers, both of which will be developed to their maximum potential for the given market • WHILE BOTH USING THE SAME SATEON SOFTWARE!
SATEON Hardware • So what prompted this change in strategy? • Cost • Valuable customer feedback • What happens to the N-TECyou all know and love? • We are committed to manufacturing/supportingour existing controllers • They will not be phased out!
N-TEC SATEON • By having two market leading boards we will be able to manage our costs enabling N-TEC SATEON to be competitive across all market segments • There are always some trade-offs when you get better pricing; • Compatibility with our other systems • Although the SATEON software will work with all of the different flavour boards it will not work with all at once
N-TEC SATEON • N-TEC SATEON software will work with the following version; • The old N-TEC boards (IDC Issue 10, IDCe, IPC and IPCe) • The new low-end boards • The new high-end boards • But only one version per system • You cannot mix and match • This allows you to target the different market segments
Can Do It All… N-TEC SATEON Hardware – Low-end
NEW Low-End SATEON Hardware • Our existing controller board is being re-engineered to fit the same footprint as an Ethernet Line Header!!! • There will be 1 x fire alarm input and no outputs • The board will be RS-485 (2-wire unscreened cable) • Ethernet will be supported with ELH board • Terminals will be screw fix, no expensive connectors • No memory expansion 12000 cards in each controller • A pulse stretcher will not be required for wiegand readers
Low-End SATEON Hardware • The IPC will be re-engineered into a 4 input, 4 output board and to fit the same ELH footprint • The IPC will also be RS-485 (2-wire) only • The only socketed chip on both boards will be the licensing chip • All boards will be designed to accept third party 12V power supplies • All boards will be certificated to be installed in user-supplied enclosures
Low-End SATEON Hardware • The IDC’s lock outputs will be volt-free changeover contacts, rated at 3Amps • A single enclosure will accept multiple boards whether it be the IDC, IPC or Ethernet Line Header. • The new boards are based on the successful IDC Issue 10 board which has proven to be a bullet proof solution • This keeps your install costs as low as possible! • The new low-end IDC and IPC will be available in Q2 2011.
High-End SATEON Hardware • This is an all new Controller based on our very successful ‘IT’ data collection terminals • It is based around a proven solid Linux core • Python will be used to allow bespoke applications to run on the controllers • Network Communication only • Peer to Peer comms • Will work on PoE(Power over Ethernet)
High-End SATEON Hardware • These boards are specifically designed for high-end sophisticated systems like airports, hospitals, pharmaceutical... Where complex customisation is required • On board SQL Lite • USB Storage for almost limitless on board storage capacity • Predications are showing the cost will be extremely competitive!
Can Do It All… Simplex Access Control Suite of prodcuts
Simplex Access Control Suite • An array of hardware options available • Existing N-TEC hardware (Old N-TEC software or upgrade to N-TEC/SATEON Software) • New Low-end hardware for SATEON(New N-TEC/SATEON software only) • High-end hardware for SATEON (New N-TEC/SATEON software only) • The cost is key and the line up we are working on will allow you to take N-TEC/SATEON into any market place
Can Do It All… SATEON Software
N-TEC SATEON Software • Brand new solution from the ground up • We have taken the best, most powerful aspects of N-TEC Enterprise solution • The entire N-TEC SATEON suite is web based using the latest Silverlight technology • Pages do not show differently, unlike html formatting, N-TEC SATEON will not differ from browser to browser. • Supported by all the major Internet browsers • Powered on SQL Server and Windows Server architecture for unlimited scalability • Full multilingual support • On the fly switching on Languages
N-TEC SATEON Software • For the low-end market N-TEC SATEON can be installed on a Windows foundation server, which is roughly the same cost as Windows 7 Enterprise/Business. • For the high-end market N-TEC SATEON can make use to multi tier environments. This gives unrivalled reliability • Designed for a Hosted/Cloud Environment such as Amazon EC2
N-TEC SATEON • Pre-release is going to be shown at Intersec in Dubai 2011 • First release of SATEON to the Simplex Market May/June 2011 (exact dates to be confirmed shortly) • Second release of SATEON to be November 2011 • Release 1 will include all the functionality and features present in the core N-TEC software • Release 2 will include; • CCTV integration - Probably IndigoVision and Vicon • 4100U Fire Interface / an analytics engine / the list goes on… • …..lets see the software……
SATEON – Language Selection • From the ‘pull up’ any language/anywhere is selectable • I have recently sent out a number of translations requests • Thank you to everyone who responded. • In the First Release Arabic, Turkish, Russian and English (UK) and English (US) will be included. I shall be releasing translation documents in December so if there are other languages you would like in the first release let me know
SATEON – Main Menu • From the main screen you can control every aspect of SATEON
