Hospital Security
An Overview of Upgrading the Access Control and Security for one of Scandinavia’s largest University Hospitals, Helse Bergen—Haukeland University Hospital has more than 8000 employees, and almost the same number of students belonging to the hospital. There are more than 120 different departments in the organization, and most of them are situated in the same area within the central buildings. The remainder of facilities are hospitals, and are spread out among the country.
The History
Helse Bergen installed their first access control system in 1991, and after 4 years they had almost 100 card readers installed in the main building. The system they chose at the time did not meet their expectation, and in 1998 they decided to make a new specification with a bid competition for a modern IT based access control system, with an expectation to last for a long period of time. One of the highlights in the specification was that the system had to be modular / upgradeable and backward compatible. They did not want to have to change the whole system in order to take advantage of new hardware and software upgrades every time they became available.
The Solution
They decided to use controllers and card readers from PCSC and presentation software known as XSM (later EBI) from Honeywell. Installation and service was provided by PCSC’s Norwegian distributor Sønnico. The contract was signed late in 1998, and the installation started in 1999. The panels used at that time were PCSC’s Ultimate controller with a direct ethernet connection using TCP/IP protocol, all panels were connected directly to the hospitals IT network so that remote sites would be as easy to secure as the central buildings.
Years later, additional IQ-series panels were installated, and today there are more than 500 card readers connected to the Ultimates and IQ controllers that are linked to full redundant EBI-servers through the Hospitals IT-network, and the system is still “growing”. In late 2008 it is planned to install another 200 card readers in different buildings. In the near future the the complex will have had at least 1000 card readers installed.
The Director of Security Mr. Arvid Eik and the Hospitals Security Department are very satisfied having made the correct decision 9 years ago, discovering they had more maintenance with the old 100-reader system than what they have today with a 500+ reader system from PCSC.

Post Office Security
A limited company wholly state-owned by the Ministry of Transport and Communications, the Norway Post recently opened on March 1, one of the largest and most advanced distribution centres located in Oslo. The Norway Post employs approximately 20,000 people, has 220 postal offices and 100 local distribution centres with 14 postal terminal buildings. As with any postal company, the Norway Post faces the challenges of distributing and delivering millions of people’s parcels securely and on time each and every day.
The Norway Post has made a substantial investment in creating the most technologically advanced and capable postal distribution centres. The new state-of-the-art building contains some of the most modern machines in the world that accurately and securely sort millions of parcels and letters every day.
Infratek is one of Norway’s largest suppliers of electronic and integrated security systems. They deliver complete, large scale innovative security solutions tailored to their customers’ needs and requests.
Brief System Overview:
The facilities readers are controlled by IQ-400/800/1200 panels from PCSC and connected via a fiber based exclusive LAN designed for security systems to an EBI server system from Honeywell. There are also several elevators that are controlled by PCSC’s IQ-ELV controllers that are connected to the EBI system. PCSC’s IQ panels also contribute to a custom integration, whenever a truck approaches the entrance gate, the truck ID is sent to an IQ panel via a long range reader. The ID number is routed via RS-232 from the IQ panel to a parking system which displays the assigned lane number at the gate. Additionally, they have more than 240 iClass readers with keypads, 220 IP-based cameras and domes from AXIS, redundant LAN with duplicated switches and routers. The entire system appears seamless as one application for the end-user.

Hotel Security and Casino Security
Northern Quest Resort & Casino is a newly constructed, 660,000 square foot luxury resort with a 250-room, high-rise tower. The facility also includes 14 restaurants and lounges, a world class casino, 14,000 square foot spa, a pavilion which seats up to 1,250 people, and a parking structure with some 1,480 stalls.
Keeping the facility’s size and scope in mind (it provides nearly 1,700 local jobs and $1.7 million in purchases of goods and services each month), an access control system that would be cost-effective and forward thinking with its technology, as well as boast the capability of expansion was essential.
Northern Quest Resort & Casino’s executive director of IT, Aaron Fisher, in collaboration with SAFE Installation Services Corp. as the project’s security integrators, were tasked with designing and completing the job. PCSC, the access control systems manufacturer, provided its Fault Tolerant Controller architecture which, utilizing edge devices, was able to take advantage of the resort’s IT backbone. The resulting solution embraced the IP infrastructure already in place in the facility and a 100 percent PoE system.
Because the hotel is encased in majority concrete and void of any traditional low-voltage security cable design, the options were limited and an IP-based system was the most logical choice.
“I was trying to avoid an implementation that required an electrician at every door adding more power, or any of those kinds of increases; it would have never happened,” Fisher said. “SAFE came in and said ‘we can do that, just run an Ethernet cable here and you’re in.’ Nobody else is doing that.”
“With IP technology where it is today, we were able to easily partner with IT for a solution,” Adrian Steik, president of SAFE Installation Services Corp., commented. “Admittedly, in the past the IT department has not been our ally in the access control market: ‘Keep it off my network’, ‘don’t touch my network, you install your own network.’ Times are changing, and the technology is such now that we all need the IT guy.” “We had to break into this marketplace of pushing IP all the way to the door. So we did! PCSC, in conjunction with HID, offered a product that does just that. But in the same breath, we now have to go through the process of turning our dealers’ attention and focus to include working very closely with IT teams,” commented PCSC’s director of sales, Brian Lyle. “You come in with the typical installer and ask me for an IP address. I, too, am going to resist. If you approach me with an IP solution that expands our usability, that is a different story,” Fisher said. For SAFE/PCSC guys to succeed I think understanding network infrastructure and ‘speaking IT language’ is vital to the success of working with IT professionals.” View

Bank Security
Randolph-Brooks Federal Credit Union’s new Administrative Service Center (ASC) in Live Oak, a suburb of San Antonio, Texas. The new building, the “Creswell Administrative Service Center” is named in honor of the current Chairman of the Board, Walter Creswell, who has served on the Board of Directors for more than 24 years.
Randolph-Brooks was founded in 1952 and the new ASC serves as the flagship for the credit union’s 22 branch offices. The ASC is home to over 300 employees and the credit union serves more than 223,000 members worldwide. With assets exceeding $2 billion, Randolph-Brooks is ranked among the top 25 of the 9,800 financial cooperatives nationwide.
Josh Moran, Director of Security for the credit union, was in charge of developing the security solution for the 117,000 square foot service center and 20-acre campus. “We needed a secure facility for our employees, members and visitors, but we didn’t want it to be like Fort Knox” said Josh. After countless discussions and visits to view other security systems, the decision was made to install an access control system and interface it with a Closed Circuit TV surveillance system.
Diebold, Inc., a global leader in providing physical and electronic security systems, facilitytransaction programs and automated teller machines, was awarded the security contract to install the access control, badging, and CCTV systems.
The PCSC “LiNC-PLUS” software program was installed in conjunction with the “IQ” series of intelligent controllers and “HID” proximity cards and readers, to protect key access points throughout the building, driveway entrances, and parking areas. Video surveillance was provided by “Pelco and Ademco” color cameras, with images stored on “Lanex” Digital Video Recorders and interfaced with the “LiNC-PLUS” dynamic graphical user interface.
The ASC has been operational almost eight months now and according to Josh, “we are very satisfied with the security solution for the ASC. The system does everything it was advertised it would do and both PCSC and Diebold have been solid business partners in making it happen.”
