A complete end-to-end solution, Facility Commander Wnx v7.5 is an ideal solution for businesses seeking to self-monitor and self-manage security operations over their existing IT network infrastructure.

Operated under the familiar Windows operating system, Facility Commander Wnx v7.5 is fully scalable from a single server 2-doors system all the way to a true, global multi-server solution with client redundancy device failover and over 4,000 readers per server. These capabilities and design allow Facility Commander Wnx 7.5 to serve the security needs of even the largest global entities. New features of the Facility Commander Wnx v7.5 include Windows Vista compatibility, mode event trigger, reporting enhancements, jet way door delay and automatic discontinuance on non-used credentials.

Facility Commander Wnx v7.5 is designed for those interested in deploying a new access control solution, as well as providing a natural migration path for existing GE customers currently using the Diamond II, Sapphire Pro™ and Secure Perfect™ access control systems.
