Al Arqam School is one of the national schools located in Al Hamra, Riyadh Saudi Arabia. Al Arqam aims to shape the future generation’s leaderships and creativity by providing effective and balanced education that combines conventional approach without discounting on the importance of modern education. This school imparts great values through the teaching of the Holy Quran and the Arabic classical language, and at the same time pays a great attention to the studies of the modern world and its constant development like science, mathematics and technology.

To achieve excellence in education, Al Arqam was looking to offer a safe, and secure environment, conducive for the students to achieve their level best with their time spent in the school compound. One of the ways to achieve that is to strengthen the overall security system of the school. With the consult from Taysseer Service Trading Company in Riyadh, the school agreed to deploy 7 sets of R2 and R2c pairs to manage the door access to the different sections of the school buildings. The management wanted to ensure that only authorized personnel and individuals are given entry to certain parts of the schools to reduce the security risks of the schools from trespassers.

According to Taysseer, the FingerTec R2R2c combo is the best choice for this school because not only that the access is only permitted with biometrics fingerprint but the school can also control both the entries and exits with anti passback feature. Anti passback is a feature that doesn’t allow someone to enter without exiting the entry point. By having an anti passback feature implemented, all authorized individuals must use the system without fail so nothing gets lost in translation. The installation of FingerTec R2R2c combo also has eliminated the tailgating incidents where a stranger could follow authorized personnel to enter a premise, bringing all kinds of risk to the school.

On the software side, FingerTec R2R2c comes bundled with the powerful Ingress solution that handles all the access data from one centralized system and all the data can be used to integrate with their existing HR solution for an automated and systematic operation.

All in all, the R2R2c system has been a great addition to Al Arqam school to heighten its security level, and also to reduce a lot manual work that HR department has to deal with all these while.
