Front Desk Unit

Accelerate the check-in process and reduce training time with the most user-friendly access control system in the industry!

An intuitive user interface makes the Next Generation FDU so easy to use that your front desk personnel will only need minimal training.

It is ideal for smaller facilities in need of a comprehensive access control system with single or multiple workstations.

Do more with less

The stand-alone Next Generation FDU does it all:

• encodes keycards
• tracks keycard data
• programs locks
• maintains locks
• audits locks

Simple yet sophisticated

The FDU encodes keycards quickly while tracking how many were issued and who made each keycard.

Powerful flexibility

Thanks to its USB ports, you connect the FDU to an external computer, printer or PMS system to share check-in data and produce audits and reports that measure operational efficiency. Implement upgrades and configuration changes immediately, eliminating delays and shipping costs.
