OmniPoint®: Wireless Multi-Point Access Control


OmniPoint®

Wireless Multi-Point Access Control

OmniPoint is a wireless multi-point door access control system that works like a hub and spoke.

In order to provide wireless door access control, the OmniPoint Gateway acts as the communications hub that transmits data to CellGate’s TrueCloud Connect via Ethernet, or on AT&T or Verizon’s cellular LTE networks.

The Gateway then also communicates locally with up to 50 entry points via LoRa technology.

No long distance data wires are required – the only wiring is for power, and local wires to the card reader and lock.

8.5″ height, 8.5″ width, 3.5″ depth, not including antenna(s) or connectors. 

Maximum LoRa range is achieved the higher the Gateway is installed.

Each Gateway comes with a 5.8dBi fiberglass omni-directional LoRa antenna, lightning arrestor, mounting bracket and power supply.  

Supports most properties that span up to one mile, and up to 50 entry points.

Antenna accessories are available.
-Additional 3dBi or 8dBi LoRa antennas
-Cellular LTE directional antennas

 

 

 

OmniPoint EPM (Entry Point Modules) V1

Models Available:

OP-EPM-DG (Internal Antenna)
OP-EPM-DG-EXT (External Antenna)

Each EPM (entry point module) comes with a choice of internal or external antenna, depending on LoRa signal strength at the individual entry point.

They are standard double gang size.

Dimensions are: 4.5″ height, 4.5″ width, xx” depth.

They work with any Wiegand 26-bit device.

Ideal for majority of gates, card readers, keypads or wireless remotes.

EPMs store common restrictions at each entrance.   

If connectivity to TrueCloud Connect is lost, credentials still work.

Powered by 12vDC or 24vAC

OPS OmniPoint Sensors

OPSs monitor status/conditions only, and require no power. 

When the status/condition of a sensor changes, the OmniPoint system sends notifications about that change to whoever is designated.

1st type of OPS is equipped with a magnetic door position sensor.

Tells TrueCloud Connect if a door is open or closed.  Notifications are sent to designated personnel when door position changes.

2nd type of OPS is a digital sensor that can monitor lock status, fluid levels, on/off status of equipment, etc. 

Tells TrueCloud Connect if a door is locked or unlocked, if a fluid level has reached a dangerous point, and whether lights or a piece of equipment is turned on or off.  Notifications are sent to designated personnel for any of these status/conditions changes.

 

 

TrueCloud Connect™

Entire system is managed via TrueCloud Connect, hosted by Microsoft Azure.

Simple, robust administration.  New users, access with time/date restrictions, alerts/notifications and access log time & date details are set up/reviewed via TrueCloud Connect.

Notifications are sent to designated parties via text or email regarding access attempts at specific entry points or by certain users.

Better security.  Know instantly who utilized an entry point, and when.

Prop open notification: gate/door sensor notifies designated user(s) if gate/door has been left open longer than 3 minutes.

Better security.  Gates and doors cannot be left open inadvertently.

Multiple user tier levels available for varied user and administration management needs.

Gives the administrator flexibility to provide only the system functionality each designated user really needs.

Mass import of user and credential data.

Makes initial user setup simple.

Multiple locations managed via a single login.

Simple administration of multiple properties.

Connecting Integrations

TrueCloud Connect has connecting integrations with Yardi and RealPage property management software that facilitates provisioning of all CellGate products without dual entry.

Networks

OmniPoint’s Gateway provides connectivity to TrueCloud Connect via cellular LTE or Internet; and connectivity to EPMs or OPSs via a LoRa network. 

Works on Verizon or AT&T LTE cellular networks for wireless communication from the OmniPoint Gateway to TrueCloud Connect. 

A hardwired internet option is also available.

Allows for utilization of existing internet infrastructure (if available), minimizes recurring costs.

Utilizes LoRa technology for data communication between the OmniPoint Gateway and locally installed EPMs (entry point modules) and OPS’ (OmniPoint sensors).

LoRa is noted for its long range transmission distance, strong signal penetration and high sensitivity.  LoRa transmissions can penetrate glass, metal and concrete.

 

CellGate App

The CellGate app is used by property management to create access codes, send momentary “open door” or “hold door open” commands.

Ultimate convenience; means certain system functions can be controlled from anywhere.

The CellGate app works on both iOS and Android smart phones.
