Improve Emergency Response Time with Reno A&E’s Automatic Vehicle Identification & Access Control System

Valuable, life-saving time can be wasted when emergency responders need an access key to enter a gated community or secure area without a gate preemption system. Reno A&E’s Automatic Vehicle Identification & Access Control System provides reliable, hands-free access to automatic gates, automatic doors and parking systems. It also works with transit signal priority systems. The system’s AVI-911™ transmitters can easily be mounted under emergency response vehicles – fire, police, and EMS. Our system has been deployed for more than 20 years and with more than 50,000 units in operation worldwide. For more information, contact Eberle Design Inc. and Reno A&E Sales Director John Shearer at jshearer@editraffic.com.
