In the early 1990's, Alvarado developed a groundbreaking line of hardware and software solutions for entertainment venues. Beginning with our first installation major stadium installation in 1993, our ticket scanning turnstiles and GateLink admission control software effectively ushered in the era of barcode ticket scanning at major league sports facilities.
Today, Alvarado continues to innovate. Our ticket scanning turnstile line includes integrated TFT displays, real-time wireless communication, and will-call ticket printing integrated into the turnstile. We also offer state-of-the-art handheld wireless ticket scanning, making computerized ticket validation a reality for even more venues, large and small.
Alvarado has also recently made one of the largest commitments to R&D in our company's history, resulting in our all new Supervisor 3000 barrier arm, Supervisor 3500 barrier wing and Supervisor 2000 barrier-free optical access control turnstiles. These "security turnstiles of the future" can be remotely controlled and monitored via PC-based software. They are already being installed at numerous facilities in the U.S. and Canada, and are quickly becoming our most popular product line.
