Boca Pointe Community

Summary

BOCA RATON, FL – Boca Pointe is a beautiful community located outside the city limits of Boca Raton, in Palm Beach County, Florida. This large community consists of 28 villages with a total of 3432 homes and just as many vehicles. One of the most important reasons people choose to live in a gated community is the enhanced safety that it provides. With an AVI (Automatic Vehicle Identification) system from TagMaster North America, passage through the community’s gates is safer and more convenient than ever.

Challenge

The size of the Boca Pointe community created an increased demand for fast and secure access control to prevent queues. Since the community has 28 separate villages and other areas, such as the Country Club, the Boca Pointe Community Association (BPCA) wanted a way to give each resident specific vehicle access rights. Access control of authorized vehicles to these different areas required a system that would function at any time of the day or night.

Solution

The BPCA decided on TagMaster’s long-range RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) platform. TagMaster Readers were installed at one of the two entry lanes at each gate. This resulted in every gate having an AVI-enabled gate (for residents) and one lane for manual access authorization for visitors. All residents received a TagMaster Tag, easily mounted inside the windscreen. Some gates are unguarded at night, but secure access is still provided to residents thanks to TagMaster readers working in conjunction with video surveillance. Customized software connects the gate equipment to a central database, allowing BPCA staff to manage and update user records remotely.

Conclusion

TagMaster’s RFID system gives the residents of Boca Pointe a convenient way of entering and exiting their community. Drivers are completely safe, as there is no need to stop at the access gate or even roll down a window. BPCA provides their residents with a high level of service and saves time and money through such a streamlined RFID system.
