Along with the launch of new web based open security platform BioStar 2, Suprema has released BioStation 2 to set a new standard in biometric access control and time & attendance. The terminal embeds an all new optical sensor, powerful hardware, and a new exterior to enable ultra-performance in any environment. Combined with the latest innovative features from Suprema, the device offers unmatched benefits to customers looking for a biometric access control and time & attendance solution. Superior biometrics under any conditions The new optical sensor can scan and produce clear and accurate fingerprint images in any condition leveraging the new sensor architecture and innovative features. Conditions that may affect fingerprint capture range from wet or dry fingers to external light getting into the sensor. The new sensor incorporates the Adaptive Gain Control feature along with a new sensor architecture for optimal results. The new exterior of the BioStation 2 is exquisite and crafted with an eye for the detail and will act as a centrepiece to wherever it is installed. The device features full touch capacitive buttons for easy navigation, and the already intuitive UI is further supported with Voice Feedback. An IP65 rating will protect the device from environmental elements such as dust and rain and ensure the device will function in outdoor installations as well as indoors. Ultra-performance and compatibility The hardware features a powerful processor and revised memory handling processes. The device provides Instant Matching through which it can match and authenticate fingerprints 3 times faster than previous generation devices. BioStation 2 also provides maximum user capacity of 500,000 with staggering 3,000,000 logs. Furthermore, the large user database associated with the biometric system can now be transferred 30 times faster between server and device using Rapid Data Transfer technology incorporated into BioStar 2 and BioStation 2. The terminal also supports extensive line-up of smart card technology with support for 125KHz EM and HID Prox, and 13.56MHz MiFare/DesFire/DesFire EV1/Felica/NFC and HID iClass SE. Along with the built-in Wi-Fi and PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) give flexible installation options for the device.

Suprema, Inc., a leading global provider of technology in biometrics and security, recently announced the launch of a new model of IP access control multi-smartcard reader and controller, ‘Xpass S2’. Compared to its predecessor Xpass Slim, Xpass S2 is remarkably enhanced in RF performance as it now supports reading of various more card technology standards including MiFare, DESFire, ISO14443A/B, ISO15693 and FeliCa, as well as NFC. It also reads and writes data on the card sectors. In addition, with IP65 ingress protection rating, Xpass S2 is equipped with built-in adaptive heater and works under a harsh environment at a wide operational temperate range of -35°C to 65°C. It also supports expanded capacity, up to 50,000 user badges and 100,000 event logs for enterprise level organisations as well as small and medium sized businesses. Xpass S2 comes not only with TCP/IP interface, but also more traditional interfaces such as RS485 and Wiegand to provide higher flexibility and multiple installation options for different environments. A built-in relay and a configurable Wiegand interface enable Xpass S2 to be used as a standalone controller with other 3rd party readers. The device is designed by focusing on satisfying both aesthetic and practical aspects, featuring multi-colour LED indicator and extra slim profile of 11.4 mm. Measuring 80 mm of height and 120 mm of width, it perfectly fits switchboxes for most US, EU and APAC countries to provide easier installation. “The Xpass S2 is the latest addition to our growing access control lineup and provides extra flexibility for our customers in designing their access control systems with or without biometric solutions,” said Young S. Moon, Vice President of Suprema Inc. “Along with our biometric access control system, the Xpass S2 is expected to set Suprema as a leader in IP access control, meeting various needs for flexibility, complexity and scalability”
