In March of 2007 PCSC introduced another first for the security industry:
The revolutionary Fault Tolerant System, which offers the security industry's first high availability access control system with redundant host, controllers, and communication. The peer-to-peer network of fault tolerant controllers and door interface modules provides for a level of reliability which is required for today’s security environment but has, until now, been unavailable.

“IT concepts are also spilling over into other areas of the security industry. We saw an interesting demonstration by PCSC of an application for fault tolerant hardware for access control systems.
Removing the vulnerability to single point failures has long been a goal of communications networks and a key to providing a robust and reliable security systems. We share PCSC’s enthusiasm and believe the development of fault tolerant systems will have a significant impact on the security market."

We now can advise our clients that they do not have to worry about outside factors, such as network or wiring failures, affecting the reliability of their Security systems."
