Payments, Access Control & Automations in One Simple Solution

PARKEZI

PARKEZI's entire car park automation system (payments, number plate recognition, intercoms) depends on a continuous network connection. If connectivity fails customers can get trapped inside a car park creating a management nightmare.

Over the past two years, RapidLink has supported the safe and efficient movement of over 40,000 vehicles across PARKEZI carparks, ensuring smooth and reliable parking operations through dual-redundancy network routers that deliver continuous connectivity to our parking systems."

Customer Challenges

If connectivity fails customers can get trapped inside a car park. "The requirement for reliable, redundant connectivity in carparks is crucial," said Anthony Andronaco, Sales and Project Manager. PARKEZI depend on static IP addresses for reliable connectivity, especially in undeveloped sites where data connectivity is an issue or the infrastructure doesn't exist at all. Blake initially tried a different router but he was advised to switch to RapidLink for its reliability and static IP functionality. "That was a selling point for us!"

Our parking systems rely on a stable, continuous network connection. While trenching and direct cabling can achieve this, the associated civil works costs are high, and Wi-Fi alone is often unreliable."
