What types of environments can Parabit security and self-service solutions be deployed in?

Parabit products are used in airports, banks, hospitals, schools, government facilities, casinos, retail, and more anywhere that needs secure access, visitor control, or self-service infrastructure.

How does Parabit support system integration with third-party hardware and software?

Parabit solutions are built for interoperability with third-party readers, controllers, management platforms, and analytics tools using open protocols and scalable architecture.

Does Parabit offer Buy American Act BAA compliant solutions?

Yes. Parabit solutions meet BAA requirements and are suitable for government procurement and federally funded projects. We manufacture products in Long Island, New York.

What factors should be considered when designing a secure physical environment?

Effective designs account for access control, surveillance coverage, visitor flow, ADA compliance, and integration with existing infrastructure.

Can Parabit solutions be customized for unique architectural environments?

Yes. Parabit offers custom fabrication, engineering, and mounting solutions to fit both functional and design specifications.

What does it mean when a system is supervised?

Supervised systems monitor device health, detect tampering, and issue real-time alerts providing better visibility and control than standalone systems.

What is the role of sensor technology in physical security?

Sensors provide environmental awareness by detecting motion, presence, door status, and light levels supporting automated alerts and better operational control.

What is microservice architecture and how does it benefit security software?

Microservice architecture allows software platforms to be more modular, scalable, and resilient. It enables faster updates, simplified integrations, and fault isolation.

What is the difference between on-premise and cloud-based access control systems?

On-prem systems are hosted locally for maximum control, while cloud-based systems offer flexibility, remote access, and easier updates.

AES 256-bit encrypted communication between MMR 2.0 readers and ACS-1EUL controllers.
Scheduled and on-demand encryption key and certificate updates.

Expanded Integration & Device Support

Support for 1 to 8 OSDP readers.
Open integration with third-party hardware and software.
DNS/DHCP services for seamless device communication and online resource access.

Cloud & On-Premise Flexibility

Cloud-based automatic failover/disaster recovery licensing for ACS Enterprise.
Silent installer with cloud/on-prem license activation.
Support for private and public network communication.

Accessibility & Usability

New multilingual ACS software UI with ADA WCAG 2.2 compliance.
Migration to federated access control, simplifying permission management across systems.

Scalable Architecture

Modular software, firmware, and hardware architecture for agile integrations and easy expansion.
Adoption of Microservice Architecture for improved scalability, fault isolation, and accelerated development cycles.

Continued Support & Future Enhancements

The ACS-1EUL controller and MMR 2.0 reader will remain supported through:

The upcoming Q4 release of the new ACS Enterprise software suite.
Firmware upgrades for ACS-1EUL and MMR 2.0.
Integration of the ACS TLS 1.2/1.3 Crypto PCB into the ACS-1EUL controller’s expansion bus.

Protocol & Certificate Management

Universal OSDP V2.2 protocol support for RS485 peripheral devices, including third-party readers (HID, WaveLynx, Elatec).
Message-level AES 256 encryption and remote key updates.
Certificate management with integration to external certificate managers.
TLS 1.2/1.3 encrypted communication with remote certificate provisioning.

Exciting new features are in development.
