Weighing less than 160 grams, its extra slim 45mm width make Xpass to easily fit in most of door frames. Xpass also features IP65 certified water and dust protection which make it ideal for outdoor installation, and also offers greater durability in indoors than ordinary access controllers.

In addition, Xpass is fully compatible with the BioStar, SUPREMA's IP based distributed access control management system. "The Xpass is the latest addition to our growing access control lineup and provides extra flexibility for our customers in designing their access control system with or without biometric solutions. With no compromise in level of security and performance, we will continue to execute our strategy of meeting the needs from the diverse and growing security market," said Brian Song, CTO at Suprema.
