Access control and security in sensitive areas
We have implemented a project for real-time access control, which allows to authorize or not authorize a guest to pass to certain floors that are considered more “sensitive.” An innovative project in a sensitive area, that of national security, which thanks to digital transformation can achieve new goals for control and security
The Challenge
Improve user control systems
Employee attendance management plays a key role, especially in those areas where safety is paramount, both because of the actors involved and the issues related to them.
Our goal was to improve user control systems, and the request included the implementation of a sophisticated access control system within the headquarters of a major Italian anti-mafia and counterterrorism agency for guests who, on a daily basis, visited the offices.
The Proposal
How to ensure control of users and locations at greatest risk
Giuseppe Monda, B.U. Delivery of Netgroup, tells us about the project implemented in the field of national security.
By taking advantage of RFID technology, it was possible to map the offices and corridors of access to the various rooms of the Magistrates and all the users working in the office, thus succeeding in ensuring the control of the users and locations at greatest risk.
In order to adequately cover the guest monitoring spaces, 11 UHF Long Range Readers were installed within the corridors of each floor.
A total of 40 antennas located in various corridor areas of the building were connected to these devices to read RFID badge tags.
How access monitoring works
ATTENDANCE TRACKING
Each guest receives a smart card upon arrival. This card, which can be read by antennas distributed throughout the premises, allows constant monitoring of movement. 150 RFID TAG badges are used for tracking.
LOCATION ON MAP
The antennas signal the control system every time the guest passes by, recording their location in real time on a map through dedicated software.
USER PATH
Staff members can view the route of guests on a two-dimensional map in real time, thanks to the control software.
AUTHORIZATION MANAGEMENT
The system allows management of guest access permissions. Access to sensitive areas is indicated in green for authorized and red for unauthorized, with an alert if an infraction occurs.
The Benefits
Advantages: automation, innovation
Such a system allows the Client’s administration to have a technologically advanced tool for access and zone control, being able to define, in a unique way, the route taken by visitors and allowing, in real time and without any physical intervention by the manager, to know about possible abuses in case a user is crossing zones for which he/she has not received authorization.

The Results
Technology in the service of security
With this project Netgroup wanted to outdo itself in security.
Redirecting our work mainly to securing it in every area, in this case, the innovative solution applied, allowed for a quantum leap.
The applied system is a demonstration of the positive impact that technology can have in our lives when used and exploited to the fullest, as in this case in developing a methodology to ensure a permanent state of security through the use of innovative technologies.
