The company’s premier biometrics solution, FaceStation 2 Smart Face Recognition Terminal, employs intelligent facial recognition ensuring highly accurate personal identification and authentication for improved overall security with contactless operation.

Mobile Access, Suprema’s contactless credentialing solution, eliminates the need for costly access cards and proximity devices by utilising iOS and Android smartphones as a secure personal access credential.

“Suprema has been pioneering contactless access control solutions long before the Covid-19 pandemic and heightened market demand for safer and more secure access control solutions,” said Young S. Moon, CEO of Suprema Inc. “Our FaceStation 2 Smart Face Recognition Terminal and Mobile Access contactless solutions seamlessly integrate with our BioStar integrated security platform to deliver comprehensive functionality for the most demanding security and workforce management applications.”

Suprema FaceStation 2 Smart Face Recognition Terminal delivers outstanding performance including: up to 3,000 matches per second; a memory capacity capable of accommodating up to 30,000 users, 50,000 image logs and 5 million text logs; live face detection with IR-based fake face blocking (anti-spoofing) technology; and multi-band RF reading technology to support the latest RFID standards for multi-modal credentialing when required.

The ergonomically designed and highly aesthetic device features an Android-based intuitive touchscreen LCD providing ease of use that requires little to no training for both users and system administrators.

Suprema Mobile Access turns virtually any iOS or Android smartphone into a highly secure contactless access credentialing device, eliminating the cost associated with issuing access cards and proximity devices. FaceStation 2 will soon become compatible with Suprema Mobile Access, providing a seamlessly convenient and fast operation.

Users can simply tap their smartphone on an RFID reader to gain access from distances within 10cm without the need to wake the host smartphone.

Airfob Patch wins award

Earlier, the company announced that its Airfob Patch won the Judges’ Choice Award from SIA (Security Industry Association) New Product Showcase Awards.

Since its inception in 1979, SIA New Product Showcase Awards has been the security industry’s premier product awards program recognizing innovative security products, services and solutions.

 The awards programme, in partnership with ISC West, presented this year’s winners in virtual format. The Judges’ Choice Award, which recognises the most innovative product within the physical security category, was given to Suprema for its Airfob Patch.

 Airfob Patch is a retrofit adhesive-backed device that attaches to existing RF card readers to make them compatible with mobile credentials. When attached to existing card readers, Airfob Patch acquires credential compatibility, power, and OSDP or Wiegand communication with the reader and adds Suprema’s Mobile Access credential capability. Airfob Patch harvests power from the RF field signals transmitted from the reader and stores it until needed. The wireless method of power and data transfer eliminates the need to splice a reader’s pigtail for installation.

 “Airfob Patch is the world’s first mobile-to-RF-card signal translator, enabling mobile phones to communicate with the existing RF card readers via Bluetooth,” said Young S. Moon, the CEO of Suprema. “Installation is as easy as adding a sticker. No wire, batteries or construction is required,” he added.

 Suprema Mobile Access and Airfob Patch were developed by Moca system, a Suprema affiliate company that began in 2019 to focus on mobile access card solution. Moca system has developed solutions that use stable Bluetooth-based wireless communication method that are being evaluated for patents.

 “SIA congratulates Suprema for being selected as the recipient of the Judges’ Choice Award in SIA’s 2020 New Product Showcase,” said Don Erickson, the CEO of SIA. “It’s this type of continual innovation and drive to succeed that advances the security industry and which contributes to the safety and security of our world.”
