XPressEntry with Biometric Authentication

XPressEntry compatible biometric handheld readers feature fingerprint or iris identification technology enhancing access control systems and physical security by delivering enhanced identity authentication for high security areas.

Controlling access to areas requiring security clearances is serious business. National security, public safety, trade secrets, and workplace safety and security are all on the line. Safety and security professionals understand the important and time-consuming work of keeping these secured spaces safe and secure. Being that high security areas come in all different shapes and sizes from government buildings to airports and laboratories, it is a real challenge to control access to these spaces. With the power of XPressEntry compatible biometric handheld readers, safety and security professionals can confidently control access to and manage any secured space.

XPressEntry is the industry leading handheld authentication solution which seamlessly integrates with most physical access control systems (PACS) and can perform multi-factor authentication including fingerprint and iris scanning, badges, credentials, and PINs/passwords. When safety and security professionals need to be absolutely certain who is trying to gain access, XPressEntry compatible handheld biometric readers can quickly perform multi-factor authentication, be it with any combination of fingerprint, iris identification, badge validation, and PIN access. If connectivity is lost, XPressEntry with biometric authentication can continue to function offline, authenticating people from an offline database or from biometrics stored in personnel badges.

Most likely your facility already has a physical access control system (PACS) by Software House, LenelS2, Honeywell, Genetec, Identiv, AMAG, Keyscan, RS2, Galaxy, Open Options, Maxxess, or one of many others. These world-class access control systems do an excellent job of determining who has access to the premises. However, there are many uses for handheld authentication beyond just getting in a door. Company shuttles, employee trainings, vehicle gates, temporary gates, employee checks by guards, events, and many more. XPressEntry compatible biometric handhelds provide tremendous flexibility and make these use cases possible anywhere. Traditional physical access control systems (PACS) are limited by the static, physical placement of the badge readers onsite at the main entrance and other tracked entry / exit points. Why only secure the perimeter when XPressEntry can help improve security anywhere? Today more than ever, organizations have both ethical and legal responsibilities to take security seriously. Adding XPressEntry compatible biometric handheld readers can significantly improve safety and security.
