How does the Wireless Wiegand work?

Introduction

Wireless Wiegand (WW) transmits Wiegand data wirelessly, eliminating the need for physical cables between access control readers and controllers. It simplifies installations, lowers costs, and provides flexibility for locations where wiring is impractical.

Key Features

  • Wiegand Compatibility: Works with standard Wiegand interfaces.
  • Wireless Operation: Secure, reliable data transmission over radio.
  • Flexible Range /  Distance: Extends for miles in open air with proper installation; shorter indoors depending on building materials.
  • Ease of Installation: Reduces labor and material costs.

How It Works

The system includes:

  • Transmitter: Installed at the reader.
  • Receiver: Connected to the controller.

The transmitter sends Wiegand signals wirelessly to the receiver, replicating wired functionality.

Advantages

  • Cost-Effective: Eliminates cabling expenses.
  • Quick Deployment: Ideal for remote locations, temporary setups, or sensitive areas like historical buildings.
  • Flexible: Simplifies system expansion or repositioning.

Range

  • Open Air: Many miles with proper antennas and elevation.
  • Indoors: Reduced by construction materials like concrete or metal.

Use Cases

  • Remote gates and outdoor installations.
  • Historical sites requiring non-intrusive setups.
  • Temporary projects like events or construction zones.
