What is considered ‘perimeter’ access control these days? Is it the outer doors of a facility? The gate to the parking lot? Or even a venue off company grounds entirely?
“The definition of what a perimeter is has changed,” says Carlos Lopez-Reyna, product marketing manager, Honeywell, Louisville, Ky. “It used to be the area surrounding a building. Now it can include non-traditional perimeters such as an open space where a meeting is taking place. As a consequence, the behavior and mechanisms to protect and guard those spaces has changed.”
