Abstract
A system is provided for controlling access at a personnel control gate, comprising: a proximity reader () connected to the control gate () for controlling access through the control gate; and an ancillary reader () located adjacent to the proximity reader, the ancillary reader enabled to return an RF transponder () signal recognizable by the proximity reader whenever the ancillary reader detects an authorized access code present on an ID badge (), thereby causing the proximity reader to control the control gate and allow the bearer of the ID badge access through the control gate.
