More on the Bio-XK Series

The miPASS Bio-XK Series range offers the ultimate security by combining leading-edge fingerprint scanning technology and encryption for secure user verification and authentication, limiting exposure through lost or stolen access cards. Card holder's access control data and fingerprint template is encoded directly into the memory chip on the miPASS card, which is secured with BQT's encryption keys protecting the card holder's information from being compromised. The Bio-XK Series reads the cardholder's data from the memory chip of a miPASS card and only transmits to a door controller once a valid finger has been presented. In addition to the smart card reader + fingerprint verification device, the BIO-XK is fitted with a 4 x 3 keypad and 4 programmable function keys.

Authentication is performed locally within the Bio-XK Series reader and does not require reference to a centralised database, thus improving performance by minimising verification time and eliminating privacy concerns. The 1:1 matching method eliminates False Acceptance Rates (F.A.R) normally prone to 1:N (1 to many) systems.Ideal for new site installations or security enhancements of any existing access control systems using 13,56 MHz cards and reader technology, the Bio X Series offers a cost effective solution for high security requirements.

Available in three different models, the miPASS Bio-XK
1) Fingerprint + card + pin pad
2) Fingerprint + card
3) Stand Alone (no card)

Series range caters for all high level security requirements large or small, whether your projects are price or functionality driven.
