Smarter Security Systems' turnstile Fastlane GlassGate 200 chosen for futuristic design in Surrogates movie

According to Smarter Security Systems, provider of intelligent entrance control and outdoor security solutions, Fastlane GlassGate 200 optical turnstile is featured in the recent release of the motion picture Surrogates. With a robot-themed world of advanced technology, the optical turnstile selected had to be sleek and beautiful. Fastlane was their top choice. At ASIS in Anaheim, California last week, Smarter Security again showed it is the unrivaled provider of lobby security with style. "Being chosen for inclusion in such a high-tech and high-profile movie underscores the leadership position Fastlane holds in the industry," said Jeff Brown, president of Smarter Security Systems. "Lobby security is only growing in importance, and optical turnstiles are a key part of the equation. It was clear from the show floor of the security industry's biggest annual event last week that no competitor comes close...Fastlane is one of the leading the industry into the future with innovative benefits and designs." GlassGate 200 has prominence in a critical scene in the movie as it provides security for a business office area. The four-foot high glass gate and sleek, stainless steel pedestals complement the surrounding office environment, and the small footprint of the pedestals allowed it to easily fit in the limited space. GlassGate, with its imposing barrier serving as a deterrent, is often selected by architects, end users, and security consultants alike. Fastlane optical turnstiles are revered for their elegance yet offer unsurpassed security due to the tailgate detection capability and alarm accuracy enabled by advanced Fastlane technology. At ASIS International, Smarter Security showcased the breadth of its line, which includes Fastlane Plus barrier arm turnstiles, optical turnstiles, such as ClearStyle, and GlassWing and GlassGate, two varieties of Fastlane speedgates. Smarter Security further distinguishes itself by offering FastScan tenant/visitor system to assist organizations in smoothly handling visitor traffic. Smarter Security Systems provides extremely intelligent entrance control and outdoor security products to help organizations protect their people and assets in a world of increasing threats. Since 1992, Smarter Security has offered Fastlane® turnstiles, the most elegant and intelligent optical turnstiles available, which protect thousands of commercial and governmental lobbies on 6 continents. Smarter Security's comprehensive line of outdoor security products consists of remote surveillance and perimeter protection solutions, including SmarterSentry, a complete mobile surveillance unit.
