Matrix Systems Forms VAR Network to Distribute New Access Control Products

  • Mar 21, 2011
Matrix Systems is forming a value-added reseller (VAR) network to provide sales, installation, integration and customer support for its new product offerings, Frontier Web Essentials and Frontier Universe.

Bob Mosler, Matrix Systems' new director of contract sales and a 28-year-veteran of security industry dealer channels, is spearheading the North American VAR network effort. The company is recruiting resellers with security industry integration backgrounds, as well as electrical, structured cable, sound/communication and other contractor dealers for its entry-level, browser-based Frontier Web Essentials and open-architecture, enterprise-level Frontier Universe access control products.

"We're already generating momentum with these two products that will undoubtedly appeal to the industry's major integrators," said Mosler, who has experience developing security dealer/integrator networks.

Frontier Universe requires VARs to sell and install the servers, software and hardware to meet the integrated systems requirements for all sizes of end-users. They will also provide product service assisted by the expert customer support network of Matrix Systems.

Frontier Web Essentials is a browser-based system for smaller end-users with a maximum of 16 doors and 500 cardholders. It requires a simple, out-of-the-box setup and will be a profitable add-on for VARs already wiring facilities for alarm, telecommunications, CCTV, electrical and sound/communications systems.

    I have been looking forward to this year’s GSX show in New Orleans, the Cresent City, or if you prefer The Big Easy. It seems like quite a while since we’ve been here. Twenty years ago, ASIS, as it was known then was literally washed out of the city by someone known as Katrina. It is a good thing to come back to NOLA. Read Now

  • From Monitors to Mission Control

    Security Operations Centers (SOC) were once defined by rows of static monitors, each displaying a single feed with operators quietly watching for issues. That model has become obsolete. Incidents evolve too quickly, data comes from multiple locations, and decisions must be made in seconds—not minutes. Read Now

    A8V MIND

    Hexagon’s Geosystems presents a portable version of its Accur8vision detection system. A rugged all-in-one solution, the A8V MIND (Mobile Intrusion Detection) is designed to provide flexible protection of critical outdoor infrastructure and objects. Hexagon’s Accur8vision is a volumetric detection system that employs LiDAR technology to safeguard entire areas. Whenever it detects movement in a specified zone, it automatically differentiates a threat from a nonthreat, and immediately notifies security staff if necessary. Person detection is carried out within a radius of 80 meters from this device. Connected remotely via a portable computer device, it enables remote surveillance and does not depend on security staff patrolling the area.
