The development of the security market shows that the integration of biometrics is seen as a major asset for high-level security. Firstly integrated into supervision and access control systems to protect so-called "sensitive" sites (nuclear power stations, airports and industrial or military-industrial complexes), biometrics is now being used in large-scale security infrastructure (border controls, security for sports stadiums), in logical security (access to workstations, information systems) or in zone access control (with or without
smart cards).
Gunnebo has developed a range of products and applications dedicated to access control: from simple systems to multi-site architectures integrating biometric readers and networked access controllers.
Gunnebo offers a totally integrated solution into its SMI Server supervision system and uses reliable high-security components: smart cards, readers and local processing units. This solution provides a high-level of security, the biometric datas being stored in the smart card.
