Remote time-and-attendence and access control The centralized control and monitoring of systems is both cost effective and practical. This is especially the case where you need to obtain near real-time information from multiple remote systems. With the Multenet Router, combined with a GSM/GPRS modem, this has become a whole lot easier to implement and has proven itself to be a solid, functional solution.
In the scenario illustrated below, an Access Control Unit at a remote location is connected via GPRS to its Access Control Software running on a PC at a central site. The Multenet Router provides the GPRS connectivity to the remote location. This enables the security and time-and-attendance functions to be controlled remotely over the GPRS network Although this may seem like a complex arrangement, it is easy to set up; and with the GPRS technology, where you only pay for data that is transferred over the always-on connection, cost effective too. Legacy solutions included connecting to your remote sites via a modem on the POTS (Plain Old Telephone System) network. With that technology you would need phone lines to be installed to all new sites with scheduled connections for updates or require a permanent leased-line connection to the site amounting to thousands on your phone bill every month.
