New Biometric System

                             Access and Data Systems has launched its new Standalone Identity Access Management System – the AD102 — which now supports fingerprint biometrics.

                             According to the company, the new two-piece system is not networked and supports up to two entry points with a single reader. Part of the company’s I.AM Series Identity Access Management product line, the biometric access control application is embedded in the system.

                             “The AD102 Kit is the wonderful solution for inhabited or commercial applications, counting doors, gates, garages, warehouses, gun safes, jewelry cabinets, data rooms, inaccessible sites, and second properties,” Logan Stewart, product manager ADS Americas said. “And, even though the system is intended to contain smaller scale usage, the AD102 Kit can travel to work with an AM524 or AM300 Controller and its door unit, creating a full featured web-based system.”

                             Reported beforehand, the Swiss security firm behind Access and Data Systems launched a new division last year to combine sales and hold up operations throughout the Americas.

                           Last month, launched both the I.AM and AX.S access organize series. 

                         According to a recently available report on the electronic access control market – in which is a player — by 2017, the total market will reach $16.3 billion, at a 7% CAGR. Biometric technologies are a major supplier to this growth.
