GSA Philadelphia Access Control

2004-Present

XTec was contracted to provide GSA Region 3 (Greater Philadelphia) with a modern LDAP-based Access Control System that is networked based. Because IP is the most widely used open network architecture, GSA Region 3’s security access control system was implemented with a state-of-the-art open architecture whose key network components are able to be purchased with off –the-shelf-technology.

GSA Region 3’s Strawbrigdes building access control installation team member provided expertise in developing the installation approach, and in installing the CAT 5 wiring, network switchers, and the access control equipment. XTec provided the smart card technical products and worked with UAS to provide oversight for the installation of the access control system. XTec provided project management for the customer, training, and support. This plan provided for up-front planning with Government involvement. Our experienced project management helped to ensure a quality installation and success for both the Government and the XTec Team. A master plan was finalized that addressed how the readers, network systems such as switches and cabling, and other equipment were installed. XTec was able to ensure that security was maintained and disruptions were minimized.

XTec continues to engage with the GSA in implementing state of the art Access Control Systems in their buildings nationwide. The network based LDAP control system implemented in GSA’s Strawbridges building provides self-synchronizing databases to ensure all of them have identical information. The LDAP structure lends itself very well to enterprise smart card solutions and ensures interoperability between applications. XTec has leveraged its knowledge and experience across several Smart Card engagements to provide GSA with the finest personnel. Our ability to coordinate delivery between the vendor and the Government is the key to providing GSA high-quality smart cards and access control support.
