What is OmniPoint and how does it work?
OmniPoint is a wireless multi-point access control solution. A Gateway connects to the TrueCloud Connect platform by wired internet or cellular LTE and communicates with Entry Point Modules (EPMs) over LoRa. One Gateway supports up to 50 entry points with no long-distance data wiring. EPMs store access credentials locally so authorized access continues if connectivity is interrupted.
What credentials does OmniPoint support?
OmniPoint works with any standard 26-bit Wiegand device—including compatible card readers, keypads, and gate operators. Use your preferred reader hardware and access credentials that meet your site requirements.
How far can OmniPoint reach?
With a high-gain LoRa antenna, OmniPoint covers up to approximately one mile—and line of sight is not required. This makes it well suited for large or complex properties where running data wiring is impractical.
Can OmniPoint operate during internet outages or power loss?
During connectivity outages, EPMs store access credentials locally so authorized personnel can still gain entry. When the connection returns, changes and events sync automatically to TrueCloud Connect. Power is still required at the lock and controller—OmniPoint uses the existing 12V DC or 24V AC power at the entry point.
What are the advantages of wireless over wired access control?
Wireless eliminates trenching and long-distance data wiring, removes the need for individual control panels at each building, and does not require wired internet at every entry point. The result is a simpler, lower-cost installation with faster deployment—particularly valuable on large or distributed properties.
Is OmniPoint secure?
OmniPoint is administered centrally in the TrueCloud Connect platform with role-based access controls. It supports standard 26-bit Wiegand devices, so you can deploy secure credential technologies supported by your chosen readers—including encrypted smart-card and mobile access credentials on compatible
CG Readers & Credentials.
How does OmniPoint integrate with CellGate's other solutions?
OmniPoint extends wireless access to areas that are difficult or costly to wire, complementing the full CellGate ecosystem. Watchman anchors high-traffic entry points with live video telephone entry (video intercom) and access control. Entría secures additional doors, gates, and elevators. CG Readers & Credentials can be added to compatible entry points—and all CellGate solutions are managed through a single TrueCloud Connect login.
