All entry gate solutions are designed to provide ticket validation for admission at venue entrances; validating all types of credentials including 1D/2D printed & digital barcodes, RFID, Apple and Google NFC digital wallet smart tickets as well as options for integrating other readers such as biometric. All solutions come equipped with intuitive touch screens to display scanning instructions to guests, showcase promotional messaging, and provide highly visible ad space for sponsorships. Other features include attendant facing lights to notify staff of scan results for each guest as they enter and built-in integration with Alvarado’s GateLink 10 access control software through the use of Alvarado’s DirectConnect API for 100% real-time, plug-and-play support.
In addition to gate entry hardware, Alvarado also offers turnstiles and barrier-free optical patron counting lanes designed to track patron entries, exits and in-venue totals. These totals can be monitored using Alvarado’s GateWatch software to provide real-time numbers to staff, create backlogs of attendance totals, and/or alert staff once a venue-specified capacity is reached. Totals can also be output to attendant-facing panels or external wall displays for real-time viewing.
