Johannesburg, 17 Jul 2015

CEM Systems, part of the Security Products business unit of Tyco, is pleased to announce the release of the OSDP v2 compliant eDCM 350. The CEM eDCM 350 OSDP is a two-door intelligent IP controller that is designed to interface to Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) compliant smart card readers, which provides a secure encrypted communication channel between the smart card reader and the door controller. CEM Systems is an HID Global partner supporting a selection of OSDP v2 compliant HID Global card readers.

OSDP is an Open Supervised Device Protocol for peripheral devices. With added Secure Channel Protocol (SCP) specification, it provides bi-directional communications and advanced security features for connecting to OSDP compliant card readers.

With the CEM eDCM 350 (Door Control Module) intelligent internal database, cards can be validated even while offline, ensuring the highest levels of system uptime and reliability. The eDCM 350 OSDP can be configured to support two OSDP compliant readers on two separate doors with optional exit push buttons, or to support two OSDP compliant readers on a single door for entry/exit control. The CEM eDCM 350 OSDP supports a range of HID Global ODSP v2 compliant readers, including iCLASS SE R10, R30, R40 and RK40.

"HID Global's OSDP SE reader range can be perfectly integrated with the CEM eDCM 350 (Door Control Module), providing our joint customers a wider range of highly secure solutions. HID Global is at the forefront of developing industry standard based compliant products and the successful partnership with CEM Systems reinforces our leading position in the marketplace," said Volker Kunz, Sales Director, EMEA with HID Global.
