Real estate development company Trident International Holdings (TIH) has announced its tie-up with SimonsVoss Technology AG, a global leader in access control and biometrics systems, for implementing transponder-based keyless high-security systems at Trident Grand Residence (TGR), the fourth freehold luxury residential project at Dubai Marina.

This is the first time that such a system is being implemented at a residential project in the UAE.
Announcing this develop-ment, Wazir Daredia, director and CEO of TIH, said, “This tie-up will enable us to fully equip our latest upscale residential offering with state-of-the-art transponder technology that will offer residents of Trident Grand Residence an extremely safe and secure living environment with the convenience of a single-key all access.”
Germany-based SimonsVoss Technologies will provide its Type 3060 radio-controlled keyless transponder-based locking system, which will use an active transponder procedure as the identification medium. The transponder here is a digital key that will be programmed with the locking plan software that will work over radio transmission and no physical contact. All functions at TGR, which include opening and closing doors, gates, lift controls etc will be carried out by just a press of one button.
Elaborating on the system, Daredia said: “This technologically advanced system enables communication with the digital components of the transponder system which includes locking cylinders, smart relay and activation unit by sending and receiving constantly changing crypto codes which makes misuse virtually impossible. With the programmed software, this system also makes it possible to define tasks such as deactivation of certain locking after a fixed time or alarm intimation if specific doors open etc.”
Commenting on the partnership, Rainer Erdmann, managing director, SiminosVoss Middle East. said, “Our partnership with Trident marks a new beginning in access control and security solutions domain in the residential sector in the UAE. SimonsVoss Technologies AG has provided high-tech security solutions to many prestigious projects across the world.
