Lillington, North Carolina, September 21, 2020 – Boon Edam Inc., a global leader in security entrances and architectural revolving doors, today announced they are showcasing a new optical turnstile, the Speedlane Compact, as well as presenting the inaugural first episode of BoonTV about “Scalable Security” at the Global Security Xchange Plus (GSX+) virtual exhibition hosted by ASIS International.

This week, September 21-25, 2020, security professionals from across the globe are converging online to participate in over 100 educational sessions, network with peers, and visit the virtual “Marketplace” to browse and learn about new and innovative security technologies.

New Compact Optical Turnstile Ideal When Space is at a Premium

Boon Edam’s Marketplace Profile at GSX+ features information about a new physical security solution, the Speedlane Compact optical turnstile. A video teaches security managers about the key features of this new turnstile, created out of a need for a shorter security barrier with the same level of security as more robust optical turnstile models. The Speedlane Compact features swinging barriers, generous space for access control or biometric device integration, and tailgating, safety and low-object detection sensors – all in a compact footprint ideal for locations where interior space is at a premium.

The Speedlane Compact has recently won the Security Today 2020 New Product of the Year Award in the Pedestrian Security Entrances category. This honor is awarded to products that are considered to be particularly noteworthy in their ability to improve security.

Touchless Entry Without Compromising Security

Due to the global outbreak of COVID-19, security professionals are tasked with providing a “touchless” entry experience while maintaining the security of the building. Boon Edam’s Marketplace Profile contains a “Security Entrances” Brochure which outlines the types of security entrances that also fulfill the need for touchless entry. Boon Edam’s Entry Experts are available the entire week of the GSX+ event to field questions and host face-to-face meetings to discuss further how to make buildings contactless and secure.

Educational TV Episode Helps Professionals Select the Best Entrances for their Buildings

The Boon Edam virtual booth will also feature a 20-minute episode of BoonTV where host, JC Powell, Vice President of Sales at Boon Edam, will introduce the concept of “Scalable Security.” JC discusses the three basic capability levels of security entrances relative to tailgating mitigation – deterrence, detection and prevention – in order to help security professionals identify the best entrance type for each area of their building.

GSX+ has just started, but it’s not too late to sign up to attend. Visit https://www.boonedam.us/events/gsx-plus-virtual-2020 for a $50 USD credit towards an “All-Access” or “One Day” pass, or towards one free “Marketplace-Only” pass.

More EdTech companies are changing hands, at lower prices

Edtech acquisitions reached 149 through August 2026, with four months of the year still to go. In Berkery Noyes’ data, the median disclosed revenue multiple fell from 2.3x to 1.3x, though deals above $160 million carried a median 5.9x in its historical sample.

  • 01Corum Group counted 149 edtech acquisitions through August 2026, and Berkery Noyes’ data shows the median disclosed revenue multiple dropped from 2.3x in the second half of 2025 to 1.3x in the first half of 2026.
  • 02Only 9% of deals disclose terms, so the number to watch is whether disclosed deal value starts rising alongside deal count or stays near $6.5 billion.

A $4 billion repair backlog will now shape Louisiana's college building budgets

A $4 billion repair backlog will now shape Louisiana's college building budgets

A Gordian assessment prepared for the Board of Regents puts the deferred maintenance backlog at Louisiana's public colleges at $4 billion. Buildings in the LSU and University of Louisiana systems average 64 years old, compared with 53 years for the community and technical colleges. Those findings now sit alongside a $1.25 billion capital request covering 73 projects.

  • 01Louisiana's state buildings are 70% concentrated on public postsecondary campuses, making higher education the primary owner of state-owned facility inventory.
  • 02The University of Louisiana System has the largest share of highest-risk buildings (over 50 years old) at 35%, while the community and technical college system leads in low-risk buildings at 22%.
  • 03The $1.25 billion capital outlay request covers 73 construction projects but measures construction and new work, not the $4 billion deferred maintenance backlog, representing different funding categories.
