The expansion of residential estates has led to many communities being constructed with security as an afterthought. Unfortunately, fencing, cameras, and a guard at the gate only create a false sense of safety, which vanishes after the first incident.

Traditional CCTV and access systems often operate separately, creating gaps in visibility and efficiency. TRASSIR and Suprema have partnered to develop an integrated platform that improves security, operations, and situational awareness.

Suprema launches BioStar Air, the first cloud-based access control platform designed to natively support biometric authentication and feature true zero-on-premise architecture. BioStar Air simplifies deployment and scales effortlessly to secure SMBs, multi-branch companies, and mixed-use buildings.

The biometrics market, particularly facial recognition, is experiencing consistent growth, yet it now extends beyond physical security and is touching multiple markets as the need for reliable identity verification (or authentication) becomes critical.

Suprema has released its BioEntry W3 facial authentication access control device with multiple authentication options, including RFID cards as well as mobile credentials, designed for durability and resilience.

Using smartphones as access credentials eliminates the risks associated with lost or stolen cards, provides additional confidence in the identity of those entering or accessing, and delivers accurate data for improved building management operations.

Suprema’s BioEntry W3 is designed with data privacy as a top priority, addressing concerns through its display-free design and highly secure ‘Template on Mobile’ (ToM) authentication, making data privacy a top priority.

Suprema AI, a specialised provider of on-device AI solutions based on video analysis, announced that it has won the Best of Innovation Award in the Embedded Technology category at CES 2025.

Since 2006, neaMetrics, Suprema’s distributor in Africa, has worked closely with Gallagher, building a robust partnership resulting in seamless integration between Suprema’s advanced biometric readers and Gallagher’s security management platform.
