Identiv, Inc. announced the launch of Identiv Connected Physical Access Manager (ICPAM) 3.0, the latest update to Identiv’s management application for physical access that is tightly integrated into Cisco technology, including Cisco Video Surveillance Manager (VSM 7.9), Cisco IP Telephony, and Cisco Instant Connect. ICPAM 3.0 includes support for Identiv’s multi-door Hirsch Mx Controllers, bringing a wide range of features for enterprise-scale solutions encompassing large buildings, campuses, and multi-campus facilities. ICPAM is a software platform developed to utilize Cisco’s IP networking technology to connect and manage Identiv’s physical access control system (PACS) hardware. ICPAM serves as a centralized manager application to configure controllers and readers, monitor activity, enroll users, create identification badges, and integrate with security and IT applications and data stores. The upgrades to ICPAM 3.0 allow Identiv to offer a robust, full-featured PACS solution that utilizes existing Cisco IP as its backbone. ICPAM 3.0 integrates Identiv’s Hirsch Mx Controllers into Cisco-based solutions, including VSM 7.9 and unified communications applications. Mx delivers new features to ICPAM, including elevator control, data center rack control, two-person rule, anti-passback, I/O expansion, internal UPS systems, and government-grade alarm monitoring and encryption. Identiv’s controllers expand the capabilities of ICPAM, allowing deployments to be designed with support for edge as well as centralized architectures. Customers will benefit from the cost reductions achieved by controlling multiple doors from a single controller.
