BFT Americas will introduce new technology and advancements at upcoming FENCETECH continued from page 28 from 10 feet to 26 feet in length • Cellular and internet based in- tercom systems "Pedestrian speed gates provide a fast, dynamic and secure way to man- age access control for buildings," said BFT Americas president Gary Gold- stein. "The swing-door gates are made of a safe transparent tempered glass with a slim design and are available in a range of optional glass heights and lane widths. "They are easy to fit in any instal- lation environment and are suitable for any building where there is a need to control and manage the flow of pe- destrians with the added benefit of en- hancing the image of the business and adding secure entry into buildings," he stated. Electronic access control of the customer's choice can be added to the entry panel such as code, swipe card, and biometric data, he noted. Emergency settings allow for safe evacuation if needed and built- in safeties are included in the design.Ex- tra wide models are available for ADA access. "These new access systems bring BFT into a full access control solu- tions company," Goldstein stated. "By entering into the building sector it allows BFT to integrate our full range of technology as a full ac- cess speacilist company."
