Suprema has released CoreStation, a biometrics-based intelligent access controller which provides advantages of biometric-enabled security over centralized access control systems.

Designed for mid to enterprise-level systems, CoreStation can accommodate up to 500,000 users with rapid fingerprint matching speed of up to 400,000 matches per second.

By providing high-performance, biometric readiness and Ethernet communication, CoreStation provides complete access control functionalities for up to 132 access points along with Suprema’s BioStar 2 security platform.

The device also allows centralized biometric template management and interfaces with complete set of reader technologies including RS-485(OSDP) and Wiegand.

“The new CoreStation is designed to fulfill the demand of biometric technology within the more-secure, larger scale access control applications with centralized topology. While providing intelligent controller functionalities, the device also manages fingerprint matching and biometric data storage under secure location. With the addition of this intelligent biometric controller to Suprema’s existing access control portfolio, our customers will have more choices and flexibility in designing their security systems,” said Hanchul Kim, Director of Global Business at Suprema. “With its extension module peripherals, reader compatibility and versatility in application, CoreStation will provide perfect access control solutions for both new installations as well as a replacement of existing systems,” Kim added.

CoreStation significantly improves security over edge-based IP access control topology.

Leveraging centralized access control, CoreStation provides secure storage of biometric data and secure wiring options.

In addition, CoreStation offers strict data security by featuring secure TLS 1.2 communication and 256-bit(AES-256) encryption.

Additionally, Suprema launched BioEntry R2, a dedicated slave fingerprint/RF reader for biometric-enabled centralized access control system.

Previously reported, Suprema’s SFU-S20 fingerprint modules are integrated into the BioRugged LCC, a 5″ mobile Android device from BioRugged.
