FAQs

An RFID credential typically contains an antenna and a chip. The chip stores an identifier and, depending on the technology, additional data.

A person presents a credential to a reader. The system checks whether it is authorized for the relevant door and time before granting access.

A reader communicates with a transponder by radio frequency. Passive credentials draw energy from the reader field and return an identifier or stored information.

Electronic locker systems avoid many limitations of mechanical keys and can support changing users and centrally managed permissions.

GANTNER provides products for access control, electronic lockers, time and attendance, check-in and cashless payment.

Many solutions are modular. Compatibility depends on the selected credentials, readers, software and interfaces and should be checked for each project.

A hole may damage the antenna or chip. Do not punch a card until its internal construction and the permitted position have been confirmed.

That depends on the RFID standard and encoding. Please provide the card type, frequency and chip technology for a compatibility assessment.

Support varies by product. The product datasheet is the authoritative source for a specific frequency or credential type.

Online readers communicate with central control during operation. Offline components work more independently and receive permissions through a process supported by the selected system.

Interfaces depend on the product and existing software. Please describe the system and data exchange requirements so we can check the options.

They can be suitable for member lockers. The configuration depends on whether lockers are freely selected, assigned or time-limited.

The answer depends on the system design. Backup power or emergency opening procedures may be required; applicable safety requirements must be reviewed.

Start with the number and type of doors or lockers, user groups, existing credentials and software. We can then identify compatible components.
