March 6, 2019 By SP&T Staff
Each year, the conference draws over 30,000 security professionals and showcases more than 1,000 exhibitors on the show floor. Here is a preview of what attendees can expect to see in the exhibit hall area, with information supplied by some of the major security manufacturers and service providers scheduled to appear.
DELTA SCIENTIFIC – BOOTH: 7117
Delta Scientific’s new DSC1500 portable beam barricade sets up quickly and temporarily to block vehicles and secure locations during short-term events and anywhere a beam barricade is needed for interim security. With a clear opening of 16 feet (4.8 m), the DSC1500 is M30 certified, able to stop a 15,000 pound (66.7 kN) vehicle going 30 mph (48 kph). The DSC1500 tows into position to control vehicle access within 10 minutes. No excavation or sub-surface preparation is required. Once positioned, the mobile barricades unpack themselves using manual hydraulics to raise and lower the barriers off their wheels. A self-deploying trailer with integrated lifting device facilitates rapid installation. The process is simply reversed when the event is over or the time comes to deploy the beam barrier at another location.

DITEK – BOOTH: 6117
DITEK announces the launch of the DTK-WM4 family of wall-mount network surge protectors. These 4-channel devices feature technologies to provide robust surge protection for any desired combination of Ethernet, PoE and PoE Extender circuits, while supporting data speeds up to 10GbE. The compact design offers rapid-replacement surge protection modules with shielded RJ45 connections and is suited for smaller installations that do not require large rack-mounted protection systems.
Two versions are available: DTK-WM4NETS is a 4-channel Ethernet and PoE surge protector, while DTK-WM4EXTS is a 4-channel PoE Extender surge protector. Both versions use the same design as the company’s rack-mount models, but in a compact package. The modular design allows for rapid replacement, and the protection modules are the same as the larger rack-mount devices, so one set of spares will support a full range of installations.
DITEK’s network protection circuitry features a hybrid design with both Silicon Avalanche Diode (SAD) and Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) technologies. The field-replaceable protection modules offer a 20kA per pair surge current capacity. All models are compatible with CAT5e, CAT6 and CAT6A cabling infrastructure.

FARPOINTE DATA – BOOTH: 5071
Farpointe Data’s Conekt mobile access control readers provide an easier way to distribute credentials. Users register their handset only once and need no other portal accounts, activation features or hidden fees. Users don’t need to fill out several different forms. All that is needed to activate a new system is the phone number of the smart phone.
No longer do integrators or users require the use of back-end portal accounts which, for hackers have become rich, easy to access caches of sensitive end-user data.
These older mobile systems force the user to register themselves and their integrators for every application. Door access — register. Parking access — register again. Data access — register again, with each registration requiring the disclosure of sensitive personal information.

JOHNSON CONTROLS – BOOTH: 20005
“Recently, there has been an increased emphasis on implementing physical security technology as part of a holistic building safety strategy, as opposed to a siloed set of solutions.
The integration of security and building solutions and how to accomplish a connected security approach will be a main focus for Johnson Controls at ISC West this year and we also anticipate it being a key trend at the show. As the threat landscape continues to grow, organizations need a layered ecosystem of solutions that can help provide visibility into internal and external risks. This means the security industry must be able to offer a security and life-safety approach that can work in tandem with other building systems.
The innovative solutions that Johnson Controls will have on display at ISC West 2019 will further demonstrate the evolution of a connected security approach and offer an opportunity to showcase how we are driving the future of security by helping to identify where our customers can either improve or implement a smarter security strategy.” — Bill Maginas, President, Canada, Johnson Controls
