Wireless Parking

In the summer of 2007 Carnegie Mellon decided it was time to implement parking access control through its CS Access system. One of the key selling points for our project was we were going to keep the costs low by implementing our parking gate control using Schalg’s wireless access control technology. Come join us to see why and how we decided to go with this new technology, how we designed and planned for our installation, and what successes and challenges we encountered along the way.
