OmniPoint:
Total Property Wireless Access
OmniPoint is a wireless multi-point access control system
that utilizes a hub and spoke methodology.
An OmniPoint Solution
OmniPoint is a wireless multi-point access control solution. It is the preferred option for schools, warehouses, shipping yards, multi-tenant communities, loading docks, regional airports, parking lots, and many other similar properties that have factors that make a wired access control solution cost prohibitive or impossible to install.
While OmniPoint can work almost anywhere, it is the ideal, cost-effective and reliable alternative when your property has:
- Entry points spread out up to a mile
- Line of site not always available
- Fenced outdoor areas that need to be secured
- Minimum of 5 to 100 entrances

Why an OmniPoint Wireless Access Control Solution Is Ideal for These Properties
Below are examples where OmniPoint solved challenges other systems could not address cost-effectively.
School Campus with Multiple Buildings Over a Large Geographic Area.
A local high school had this scenario at their property:
- 1,200 students and 100 staff were located on a 5-acre property
- The school had 22 buildings with a total of 95 entrances that required access control
- They wanted a single, centralized point of administrative control that would be able to customize which of the 95 access points a user could be granted entry to.
- Only 14 of the 22 buildings were equipped with internet.
- They also had three outdoor sporting areas where they also wanted to utilize the same centralized access control system for those entrances, but did not know how those could be wired.
- There were 10 other doors on the property that did not require access control, but they wanted to monitor those entrances to ensure they were always locked, and be notified if they were unlocked to ensure student and staff security.
An OmniPoint system solved all of these challenges.
An Apartment Community with Attached Parking Garage Access & Outdoor Pool
- Class A rated apartments with 250-290 residents on a 400 meter by 300 meter property
- Two primary resident buildings, four stories each, with a four-story connected parking garage in between the two buildings
- Line of sight not possible
- Pool in the center of the complex had two entrances that needed access control
- Concrete parking garages made a wired solution difficult to install
- Wanted a centralized point of administrative control in order to customize user credentials, and to view historical logs of system use by user. Current system had no historical logs, and residents were all set up with the same code so there was no visibility if problems arose.
An OmniPoint system solved all of these challenges.
