C.C. Inc., a SecuGen® OEM partner, combines fingerprint and wireless technology into a remote biometric access control system

Panama City, Republic of Panama (October 22, 2003) - C.C. Inc. of Panama, has announced the release of a vehicle-based fingerprint biometric access control system, named the Remote Access Biometric System (R-ABS - SAB-R).

C.C. Inc.'s prototype system integrates both wireless and fingerprint technology and is designed to authenticate drivers when entering high-security facilities. The system works by requiring the driver to prove he is authorized to enter by matching his fingerprint with a previously registered fingerprint template in the vehicle. If the driver is verified, the system sends a secure wireless signal to the gate, which activates the opening mechanism.

The system was designed with a number of security features, including the use of a proprietary protocol to protect signal transmissions and the design of restrictions on vehicle-gate modem communications. For example the modems in a vehicle and at a gate can communicate only if their pre-programmed IDs match and when the vehicle is within close proximity to the gate. With the option to integrate additional features and function enhancements, the R-ABS - SAB-R system can be customized to meet the security requirements of its users.

Using R-ABS - SAB-R as part of an access control deployment can help reduce the risks of forged or stolen IDs being used to enter sensitive, high-security areas. The devices can be easily implemented at military sites, airports, jails, banks, research facilities, or other government or private sites requiring strict control of vehicles authorized to enter certain gates. Private clubs, marinas, and estates are also good examples of where this system may be implemented.

The R-ABS - SAB-R was developed through collaborations with the Technological University of Panama and Future 2000 Systems Inc.
