Identita is set to achieve an industry first in the development of open source radio frequency identification ("RFID") technology for building security and control applications. To add full RFID functionality into its EchoSystem platform and IDPROX application suite, Identita will use the ALE Server middleware platform, developed by logicAlloy Inc. In building security applications by Identita, this will be the first use of open source RFID technology. Product development costs will be lowered by the use of ALE Server technology within IDPROX and will enable a more robust solution using radio frequency scanners.

logicAlloy will provide, as part of the agreements, full modification capabilities for software user interfaces and message transports. To provide the highest level of support for customers using RFID solutions, logicAlloy will also partner with Identita.

President of logicAlloy, Edward Blazer, commented: "We are very excited to work with Identita to deliver a stable, high performance solution to the building security and automation market". "ALE Server is an easy to integrate solution that will allow Identita to bring RFID functionality to its product suites."

For building management, Identita's IDPROX application suite provides an unbreakable, turn-key identity authentication solution. Using OTP/magnetic and/or OTP/RF cards across several partitioned layers, IDPROX works by providing a full security solution. Partitions allow a large system to be divided into smaller entities, where each entity can manage its own security needs. Using geographic partitioning, common usages are in multi-tenant buildings where each tenant wishes to manage and monitor his own security or nationwide systems. Allowing monitoring and control capability for a defined space or part of the system, operators can use a point and click interface to manage specific partitions.
