Freevolt Technologies Limited, a London, UK-based developer of biometric smart card products for access control, cryptocurrency wallets, payments and healthcare, has launched the second generation of its flagship access control card, S-Key.
The new battery-less biometric access card featuring Freevolt’s patented energy harvesting technology has been upgraded to embed Fingerprints’ world-pioneering ‘T2’ biometric sensors. S-Key biometric cards are bringing stronger authentication to access control, offering new levels of security, convenience, and reduced environmental impact on the road to eliminating PINs and passwords.
“The world has changed and approaches to security must also evolve. With our collaboration with Freevolt Technologies, we are proud to see that Freevolt have combined their highly efficient power harvesting innovations with Fingerprints’ FPC 1323 sensor providing ultra-low power consumption, to create a world-pioneering battery-less biometric smart access card.”
“The S-key card featuring the FPC 1323 sensor enhances security while also enhancing convenience and reducing environmental impact, targeting the physical access market of several hundred million smart cards per year, it’s a logical and exciting evolution in organisational and personal security,” Michel Roig, President of Payment and Access, Fingerprints.
Fingerprints’ ‘T2’ sensors, known as FPC 1323, deliver increased image quality and processing speed as well as improved power efficiency for biometric smart cards.
To further fortify the security of the card, the sensor module features advanced encryption and additional privacy layers for the storage and communication of biometric data. S-Key featuring the FPC 1323 sensor makes the end user journey frictionless and personalised by the touch of a fingertip to access desired areas reliably, hygienically and securely, while still being convenient and easy to use.
