Comelit-PAC has successfully upgraded the access control infrastructure at Blackpool Victoria Hospital, ensuring a seamless and secure environment for staff, patients, and visitors.
Designed to provide a robust and scalable security solution, the security technology works programme integrated PAC Access Central with multiple PC workstations for comprehensive global administration across the hospital’s network
To safeguard critical areas within the hospital, Comelit-PAC’s advanced 500 series controllers were utilised. This includes the 511, 512 model door controllers linked into the existing 500 Access & Alarm servers on site, offering a mix of ethernet and RS485 connectivity to enhance system flexibility and efficiency.
Martyn McKechnie, Head of Digital Identity at Blackpool Victoria Hospital, commented: “As a busy hospital with multiple departments and critical areas, we required an access control system that could integrate seamlessly while offering high levels of security and administrative control. PAC Access Central provides the scalability and reliability we need to manage hospital-wide access efficiently. The ability to oversee all access points from multiple PC workstations ensures our Digital Identity and Security teams can respond quickly to any situation.”

A key element of the installation is its server-based architecture, providing enhanced security measures and failsafe redundancy. This ensures Blackpool Victoria Hospital benefits from a resilient and future-proof access control system, capable of meeting the bespoke demands of the healthcare environment.
Jason Sullivan, PAC / GDX Strategic Development Manager at Comelit-PAC, added: “We worked closely with Blackpool Victoria Hospital right from the initial specification stage to deliver a solution to balance security with ease of management. PAC Access Central presents a future-proof system that allows the hospital to maintain strict access control while adapting to evolving needs. By adopting this advanced security infrastructure, Blackpool Victoria Hospital continues its commitment to maintaining a safe and secure environment, leveraging Comelit-PAC’s expertise in access control technology.”
