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.

Suprema's BioEntry W3 integrates AI-powered facial authentication into a sleek design that prioritises security, privacy and user experience, and even allows users to store their facial templates on their mobiles instead of external devices.

Suprema’s latest multi-modal access terminals are top-of-the-range, highly secure, easy to install, and easy to use. They feature biometrics, mobile access, and RFID and are both PoPIA and GDPR compliant.

In today’s data-driven world, security systems are overwhelmed by an unprecedented volume of data, from video surveillance and access control logs to intrusion alerts and a variety of IoT sensor data.
