Introduction

Biometric Access Control
A computerized method used to identify people based on their unique physical characteristics
before granting access to secure facilities.
Why biometric access control is better
Today, more than ever before, it's important to know that only authorized people are in your
secure areas. NextgenID biometric access control products provide secure, affordable access
control for all security needs.
Far superior to pin numbers or card systems, which can be shared or stolen, biometrics utilize a
person's unique physical characteristics to identify the user. NextgenID biometric identification
and verification systems ensure that only legitimate members can enter your secure area.
NextgenID BioAxs multi-biometric hardware and software platform allows users to choose what
biometric technologies they want to deploy at each point to be secured. The BioAxs 9800IR™ is
part of the NextgenID BioAxs™ family of multi-biometric, multi-modal access control panels and
utilizes both fingerprint and iris biometrics.
Modular / Scalable
The modular, multi-biometric BioAxs solution is designed to treat each biometric component as a
verification or identification device within the scalable framework of a particular door's security
requirements. NextgenID hardware and algorithm neutrality allow particular algorithms and
sensors to be easily integrated to meet customer requirements.
Multi-Modal Authentication Protocol
The BioAxs 9800IR™ provides multi-modal authentication modes meaning the facilities access
control administrator can adjust the access protocol necessary to obtain entry to the protected
facility. Combining traditional access control methods such as card readers, PIN Entry devices
with the latest in biometric authentication technology, the BioAxs 9800IR™ provides a robust
access control solution to a variety of threat conditions present in today's environment.
Flexible Authentication Protocols
The BioAxs 9800IR system can be configured as an "and" system that requires both biometrics to
be verified for access to be granted. The BioAxs 9800IR™ can also be configured as an "or"
system that allows users to authenticate either their iris or their fingerprint.
Threat Level Scalability
Based on the current perceived level of threat to a given facility, the BioAxs 9800IR™ system
allows the access control administrator to configure predefined operating configurations for the
access panels. As threat conditions increase the level of the security for a facility, the panel
behavior may be 'scaled up' to require additional credentials for granting access. Examples of
these techniques include: combining a proximity card and biometric, adding a PIN or requiring
multiple biometrics before granting access.
Patented Dual Biometric System
The BioAxs 9800IR's patented system combines the power of two biometrics, iris and fingerprint
with the optional added security of tailgating detection to provide a formidable access control
solution for your secure facility. The system comes standard with the LG IrisAccess™
verification/identification algorithm and NextgenID FingerMatch verification/identification
algorithm.
