WESTMINSTER, Colo. — Orion Entrance Control, a manufacturer of optical turnstile solutions, has joined PSA Security Network in a partnership that will make available customizable speed lanes to the thousands of security professionals in the PSA marketplace.
“We’re thrilled to join the PSA Security Network of industry professionals and to be able to offer our optical turnstile, speed lane, and lobby security products to this growing sector of the market,” says Orion ECI President and Founder Steve Caroselli. “We believe that once PSA Security Network members evaluate what Orion ECI has to offer, they will see that our solutions surpass what they typically encounter when evaluating turnstile products.”
Based in New Hampshire, Orion ECI manufactures speed lanes and turnstiles including integrated biometrics, POS and more. The company is a “different kind of turnstile manufacturer” with a “unique approach to the industry that adds value that PSA Security Network members won’t find elsewhere,” says Caroselli.
“Of course, we offer a full line of standard turnstiles and speed lanes that will serve those looking for an out-of-the-box solution, but we also offer customizable options for those deployments that can’t be outfitted with a standard product,” Caroselli continues. “I think many in this sector of the security market know that no two jobs are alike and flexibility is often needed in outfitting lobbies and entrances with security options or when replacing or rebuilding existing solutions.”
Orion ECI Director of Global Business Development Tom Elliott compares choosing the right turnstile to buying a car.
“If you look at the outside of a couple of comparable speed lanes or turnstiles, they probably look the same,” says Elliot. “But it’s like looking at cars. From the outside, yes, they look the same, but go under the hood and you can see the distinctive features and examine the real differences. The way we build our products at Orion ECI is different and when people take the time to take a look they recognize it.”
PSA, said to be the world’s largest systems integrator cooperative, boasts more than 400 branch locations, employs 7,500 industry professionals and is responsible for $4.5 billion annually in security, fire/life-safety and pro A/V installations.
