Secure Frictionless Access Control by Contactless Scanner

Morpho (Safran), the supplier of biometric identification and security solutions, has launched Morphowave Tower, a biometric access solution featuring high-speed touchless fingerprint matching. It captures and matches four fingerprints at high speed as the user simply waves a hand over the sensor to be identified.

The new terminal is a frictionless access control solution that is equally effective in both high security and high throughput applications, where users can be identified on the move without any need to stop or slow down. Because the sensor is touchless, its surface remains clean through repeated scans, and it reads wet and dry fingerprints without difficulty. The absence of residual latents, moisture, or transferred contaminants on the sensor contributes to the speed and accuracy of fingerprint acquisition. And the company’s advanced algorithms ensure high matching accuracy.

The color touchscreen, located above the sensor, incorporates an IP videophone capability and can be programmed for time and attendance features, text and video messaging, as well as customized graphics, and administrative functions. The product was designed with all key interfaces, allowing direct and easy integration into existing access control and time and attendance systems. It has already been seamlessly integrated with over 20 of the industry’s most commonly found access control systems, adding tremendous value and security to the existing installations. It can also be used as a stand-alone device for quick deployment at temporary events and facilities.

Quick and Accurate
The modern design of the Morphowave Tower and the extensive configurability of its functions make touchless identification a compelling option for government, business and commercial venues. Whether the objective is rapid, reliable identification or identification and timekeeping, it enables more people to be accurately identified in less time, within the context of a comfortable, efficient user experience. The device was recently named Best New Product by the Security Industry Association (SIA) at the 2015 International Security Conference and Exposition, also known as ISC West.
