Suprema unveils third generation at Intersec 2022

Issue 1 2022 News & Events, Access Control & Identity Management

Suprema participated in the largest security exhibition of the Middle East, Intersec 2022, held in Dubai from January 16 to 18. At the event, Suprema shared a showcase of its third-generation access control portfolio, which focuses on contactless solutions with the latest market demands in the post-Covid era.

In 2021, Suprema differentiated itself as a premium brand with ‘FaceStation F2’, a facial recognition technology embedding a deep-learning AI algorithm. This year, Suprema will lead the global contactless security market with BioStation 3, the highly anticipated upcoming addition to its third-generation line-up of security solutions.

BioStation 3 includes improved features reflecting the needs of operators, installers and end-users and provides higher accuracy, faster recognition speed and a lower false acceptance rate (FAR) even with faces covered with masks of various shapes and colours. It also includes support for multiple credential options including not only facial recognition, but also mobile access cards, QR codes and barcodes, which provides higher security while also increasing customer convenience.

Suprema also showed its active participation in protecting the environment. The booth, designed around the theme of eco-friendliness and encompassing Suprema’s biometric recognition and mobile access control solutions, illustrated that contactless access control solves the problem of environmental pollution caused by plastic RFID cards. In 2021, the CO2 emissions resulting from decomposing plastic waste was 1,8 billion metric tons, which is equal to the total CO2 emissions of 900 thermal power plants. Suprema’s mobile access solutions allow users to gain contactless access authentication via the Bluetooth or NFC capabilities of smartphones. This makes it possible to stop the reckless issuance of plastic RFID cards, leading to reduced environmental pollution and operational expenses, along with higher security by preventing false access when a card is stolen or lost.
