Use Cases and Dealer Benefits
AWID’s LR-3000 is purpose-built for automatic vehicle identification (AVI), which makes it the ideal solution for a variety of gated environments. For security dealers and integrators, this reader presents an opportunity to deliver a high-end, seamless gate access experience—without the high-end price tag.
1. Gated Residential Communities
HOAs are always looking to reduce gate tailgating and improve resident convenience. With the LR-3000, you can install a hands-free AVI solution that residents love, while maintaining secure credentialing.
2. Commercial & Corporate Parking Facilities
Support frictionless access for employees, vendors, and fleet vehicles—no need to stop and swipe. Integrators can pitch the LR-3000 to property managers and facilities teams as a secure and fast gate solution.
3. University or Hospital Campuses
Large campuses need reliable vehicle access control for staff and emergency vehicles. The LR-3000 allows for hands-free access while supporting multi-tag reading in dense traffic areas.
4. Government & Utility Sites
Infrastructure and public sector facilities benefit from consistent gate control that supports both security and operational speed. The LR-3000’s ruggedized housing and weatherproofing are ideal for harsh environments.
5. Dealer Profit Tip: Sell the System, Not Just the Reader
Because the LR-3000 works with AWID’s full line of windshield tags, hangtags, and access credentials, dealers can deliver a complete AVI package and secure recurring revenue on replacement tags.
Pair this reader with AWID’s UHF credentials and a gate operator—plus your preferred access controller—and offer it as a turnkey package.
