"Datastrip's DSVII-SC provides the Georgia Ports Authority with a customisable device that integrated smoothly with GPA's legacy magnetic stripe ID cards," said Mike Cates, vice president and sales manager of Remote Technology Inc, Datastrip's integrator at GPA. "They chose the DSVII-SC over other options for its small size and ability to perform in the harsh, salty and humid Savannah climate."
Weighing just 2 pounds, the DSVII-SC meets government standards that verify its rugged durability. The unit is weather-resistant to wet/dry conditions (Ingress Protection rating 54) and drop-resistant to withstand freefalls (Military Standard 810F).
To date, the Port of Savannah is using 25 DSVII-SCs at various port gates to ensure that workers carry valid security ID cards.
