Controlling vehicle access is a critical aspect of securing your site. Below are two of the most popular vehicle access solutions, with their own benefits which can be aligned to your needs. At Pentagon Technologies, we can help you determine which solution is best suited to your site.

Bollards or boom barriers?
A bollard is a solid post, preventing unauthorized vehicles from entering your designated area. They are useful in high-security areas, pedestrian areas or in environments where a permanent physical obstruction to vehicles is required. They will provide substantial protection from all types of vehicles and have a presence and visibility which discourages would-be intruders.

Boom barriers or automated gates are typically controlled by the operator by the opening of a gate, or controlling vehicle entry and exit to a site or area. Hence, they would fit well with a more complex commercial complex, or even a parking lot, where you want to control vehicle traffic flow or restrict entry/exit as part of your site security. Boom barriers can be stand-alone solutions, or they can be linked into access control systems or other RFID controlled systems, or controlled remotely.

At Pentagon Technologies, we offer a range of bollards and boom barriers to suit your specific requirements. Examples are shown below. Whether you prefer a strong physical deterrent to restrict vehicle access, or manage vehicle arrival to a defined space, we facilitate a smooth installation process and operational communication without cumbersome paperwork.
