Enhance airport security with a high-tech access control system.
Security remains a top priority for all transportation facilities, including airports, ferry terminals, ports, bus and train stations, and more. Every day, thousands of passengers, workers, luggage, and cargo pass through those doors on their way to their destinations. And they rely on transport providers to get them there safely, on time, and as comfortably as possible.
Transportation hubs, with their complex and sprawling infrastructures, contain multiple points of vulnerability that require controlled access. They don’t just need to provide a safe, secure environment – they must also ensure that the flow of passengers and staff is not impeded by the very access measures designed to safeguard them.
Why consider an access control system?
Access control is essential in keeping airports and other transportation facilities — and everyone inside them — protected. It is a key component in avoiding bottlenecks, delays, and disruption in areas used by thousands each hour.
Building a resilient transportation hub that can adapt to emergencies and operational disruptions is a huge task, and cannot be managed with mechanical keys alone. To ensure the overall operational efficiency and protection of your hub, an advanced access control system that is smart, flexible, scalable, wire-free, and user-friendly is necessary.
Smart access control systems installed in airports can lead to a variety of benefits, including:
- Improved security: Limits access to authorized personnel.
- Increased connectivity and integration: Works with other security systems.
- Streamlined operations: Control and modify access remotely.
- Better surveillance and oversight: Monitor and record entry and exit.
- A convenient keyless experience: Replace the hassle of physical keys. Help staff, users or visitors come and go more easily.
- No more lost keys: Eliminate mechanical keys, lock replacements, and complicated systems configurations.
- Save time and reduce expenses: Increases efficiency, reduces the costs for enhanced airport security.
- Customizable Access: Tailor individual access privileges.
- Enhanced safety
Since safety is of utmost importance within airports, it’s necessary to consider the level of customisation provided by high-tech access control systems. The mix of people you can find in an airport at any given moment is extensive, ranging from passengers to airport employees, airline staff, and contractors. Understanding all these moving parts — and keeping track of them effectively — is paramount to airport security.
With SALTO’s access control solutions, you can easily tweak the system to suit your security requirements, infrastructure, and unique organisational needs. For instance, you can set different levels of access for different users through a fast, simple process. Additionally, you can keep restricted areas secure with tailored credentials, monitor access incidents, grant or revoke access remotely, receive real-time headcounts and security updates, and so much more. Improved security protocols will lead to safer airports and happier customers and staff.

- 24/7 monitoring for increased visibility
A smart access control solution lets you protect airport perimeters or building access points with complete ease. With our centralised system, you can assign who can access what and when — all the way down to an individual level and in real-time. It also gives you the ability to grant time-controlled access to staff or delivery services remotely, greatly improving ease of operations.
The system provides 24/7 audit trail information, giving airline management full control over security and operational requirements. It also allows you to track:
- Traffic flow
- Times of entry and exit
- Attempted foul play
- Misuse
Furthermore, you can access up-to-date reports on access activity. With this functionality, you will be alerted to any after-hours access or probable intruders on site, safeguarding the airport from theft, vandalism, sabotage, and industrial espionage. All of this is bolstered by the system’s high responsiveness, which boosts performance, efficiency, and user-friendliness.
- Improved management overall
From a management perspective, you can adjust access permissions and schedules on the spot through SALTO’s access control system. This includes the ability to revoke access credentials for terminated employees or tenants immediately, helping you maintain high levels of security at all times.
In addition, you can receive real-time updates on passenger volumes and in-depth insights from current and historical data. In this way, you’ll have real numbers to streamline operations and make better-informed decisions that boost airport security.
