How effective is the ONYX Outdoor gate in terms of security at EDHEC: a university campus?
Universities are generally very busy places. However, they are not public places, since not everyone can eat, work, take part in activities or simply enter. Only those with prior authorisation, such as staff or students, are allowed in. The campus itself welcomes a significant number of 4,000 students every year. As a result, with so many people coming and going, it was imperative to reinforce security at EDHEC’s reception area, at the risk of a potential break-in that would be unmanageable given the flow of people.

Les solutions apportées par l’ONYX Outdoor sont multiples :
1 – An environment of trust
- Thanks to its full-height security, the gate can easily be adapted to meet all external perimeter security requirements.
- Its detection technology enables soft mobility, so it identifies users on bicycles or scooters.
- It controls pedestrian access in both directions by managing flows using individual badges. As a result, its detection system ensures a single passageway.
2 – Aesthetics preserved
ONYX Outdoor gates are distinguished by their design:
- A gate that visually matches the building’s image. It blends in easily with the other security equipment.
- A discreet, contemporary design that adds something new to your environment.
- It can be installed without altering the appearance of your site, and is compact enough to take up very little space.
- R’Light LEDs integrated into the gate provide light flow management. Low-energy LEDs show the user the operating status of the gate.
3 – Diversified safety
On the EDHEC campus, the installation of ONYX gates has enabled security guards to carry out other security tasks on the campus.
