Minnesota Hillel is a Jewish student organization at the University of Minnesota that offers a variety of programs and activities that are designed to provide students with a sense of community, help them connect with their heritage, and encourage them to explore their identity. In addition to providing a space for Jewish students to connect with one another, Minnesota Hillel also works to build bridges between the Jewish community and the broader campus community. The organization hosts interfaith events and partnerships with other student organizations to promote dialogue and understanding between different groups.

As legalized medical and recreational use of marijuana spreads from state to state, the security industry has profited from sales that have been both COVID-proof and recession-proof. U.S. cannabis sales are predicted to reach $26.5 billion this year (2022) and double by 2030.

Fairbourne Station is a new, 40-acre, mixed-use development in West Valley City, Utah, that combines residential units, retail space, a hotel, and Fairbourne Office Tower, a nine-story commercial building with an adjacent parking structure. This office tower is also the new headquarters for Wasatch Property Management (WPM), the residential division of Wasatch Commercial Management (WCM), which happens to be one of the premiere, commercial real-estate developers in the Mountain West.

The owners of one of America’s fastest-growing multi-level-marketing companies recently sought the guidance of Blue Cable Networx, of St. George Utah, to strategize the security plan for their new corporate headquarters. The company employs over 300,000 consultants in the U.S. who sell affordable jewelry accessories at home parties as well as online.

The school was looking to expand their system by connecting both buildings to a singular access control system which could be managed from any location.

Pdk’s equipment and controllers are available in a variety of sorts and communication types. This allows ACES to easily incorporate access control for every tenant’s doorways, the stairwell entrances, elevator car and floor triggers, and the gates located in the parking facility.

Residential property managers know that making everyone happy is never easy. When it comes to finding appropriate management technologies, the route can be clogged with the diverse needs of stakeholders, including maintenance, communication, collaboration, governance, finances and administrative efficiency. However, some needs—security, for example—cannot be left unattended.

NVE Technologies, Inc. was approached by the high-end residential complex to assist with an existing, and non-functional, access control system. The existing system was a locally hosted system, which needed an onsite computer and server to run. After the head-end unit crashed and failed, the complex found that no system backup was in place. That’s when NVE Technologies suggested a cloud-based access control system by prodatakey (pdk).

According to the Population Reference Bureau, there are an estimated 46 million Americans above the age of 65. These retirees are looking for secure and safe environments in which to spend their golden years. One of these is Cary, North Carolina’s Glenaire Retirement Community — a truly beautiful property located near the Research Triangle Park area, close to Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill. Glenaire is green, lush, well-tended, and full of amenities — it’s like a friendly village created for the well-being and happiness of seniors.

When a high school actually wears out lock mechanisms while trying to keep its students safe, it’s definitely time for a cloud-based wireless upgrade.

o protect Corning (Arkansas) High School students from intruders, all classroom doors were kept locked and the teachers opened and relocked them as needed. Principal Jennifer Woolard says, “You would be surprised how many times a key was used in each door throughout the day. It was unbelievable.” The lock mechanisms were literally worked to death.

Access control systems serve many purposes, and technology partners are chosen based on their ability to deliver on specific customer needs. A few years ago, a New York-area synagogue installed a wireless, cloud-based access control system, manufactured by ProdataKey (PDK), for its ability to deliver “convenience” in this case, helping the congregation’s vice president of operations manage and automate the complex schedule of locking and unlocking doors to its building. However, following the tragic attack at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Synagogue in late October 2018, this synagogue, as well as Jewish congregations, community centers, and day schools nationwide, are reevaluating their security protocols, including maximizing the capabilities of technology that is already in place. In this case, an access control system chosen for one set of criteria will now be called upon to deliver in many other ways. Fortunately, the PDK solution is up to the task.
