Boucherle Pick: Essex Turnstile Reader

The iROX-T turnstile reader from Essex Electronics is designed for multitechnology, multi-frequency reader applications including HID’s secure Seos breakthrough technology for higher security applications in a low profile package and challenging environment. Proximity readers for 125kHz and high frequency 13.56MHz that are either flush mounted or concealed in “heavy metal” turnstile environments can lose read range and throughput utility convenience.

The iROX-T reader aims to solve these challenges with enhanced antenna design. The product supports multiple access control manufacturers’ technologies including HID-MultiClassSE, Prox, MIFARE, DesFire, EV 1 & 2. Essex and HID are part of a shared initiative with eight other turnstile manufacturers for certifying this product category for various applications. Essex has been known for the past 35 years for building ruggedized access technology that stands the test of time and is made in the United States. keyless.com
