Although the majority of access installations are based in single locations with terminals sitting on a LAN, there are an increasing number of wide area installations with access (and attendance) terminals based in separate locations, often hundreds of miles from the server or data centre. Two of the larger installations include Ecobank in Ghana with 83 access terminals at twenty eight separate locations and the IAC Group based in the Midlands (UK) with seven locations containing over 100 access door controllers. Although the very large sites are rare, customers with up to ten access controllers are now quite common and the support teams report that they perform error free 24-7, 365 days of the year!
