The reasoning for the new software was presented at the PWAC and other meetings when the upgrade was proposed - this is why residents should attend those meetings.
Some of the reasons that I recall:
- The number of valid cards had outgrown the capabilities of the old software
- The new software will make it easier to disable invalid cards and since not all the gates are on public roads this will improve security at those other gates
- The new software will allow the use of new readers that are compatible with long-range systems that can work from within the car without the need to roll down a window
