When transitioning from Wiegand to OSDP, you can realize tremendous cost savings when you install WaveLynx Ethos readers. Use these calculators to estimate your overall cost savings. OSDP Auto-detect ®, a unique patented feature included in all Ethos readers, will enable you to save during the transition. Remote reader management will be available upon completion of transitioning your access control environment to be fully OSDP compliant. Remote reader management may include something as simple as changing the way the LEDs function to more extensive management such as a complete update of the reader firmware to enable new functionality as it is made available by the WaveLynx design team.

Auto-Detect cost savings are calculated by estimating the labor cost associated with necessary on-site operations that may be required at each reader when updating the access control panels to convert the communication protocol from Wiegand to OSDP (Technician’s time X Technician’s hourly rate X number of readers) This does not include the cost savings realized by utilizing existing wire runs.
Remote Reader Configuration cost savings are calculated by estimating the labor cost associated with using either a BLE mobile App or Configuration Cards (Flash cards) to change the functionality on each reader. This may include one or more configuration flashes depending on the desired changes. Remote updates are accomplished through a single broadcast operation from the access control software which triggers an OSDP File Transfer. (Technician’s time at each reader X Technician’s hourly rate X number of readers X number of changes per year)
Remote Reader Firmware Update cost savings are calculated by estimating the labor cost associated with using a BLE mobile App to overwrite the firmware on each reader. This requires a technician to be within the BlueTooth range of each reader and may take several minutes per reader depending on the size of the firmware file. Remote updates are accomplished through a single broadcast operation from the access control software which triggers an OSDP File Transfer. (Technician’s time at each reader X Technician’s hourly rate X number of readers X Avg. number of firmware updates per year)
