Seoul, April 19, 2018 – Suprema, a global leader in biometrics and security, announced that the company launches XPass D2 series RF card readers. The new addition of card readers will provide extended capability, design flexibility and cost-effectiveness to the CoreStation, Suprema’s enterprise access control solution.

XPass D2 readers are compact outdoor-ready RFID readers featuring dual-frequency RFID technology and rugged IP67/IK08 structure, optimized for the company’s CoreStation-based centralized access control systems. XPass D2 readers come with dual-frequency RFID technology which reads both 128kHz and 13.56MHz RF cards including EM, MIFARE(plus), DESFire(EV1) and FeliCa standards. In addition, all readers read BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy) and NFC signals to provide mobile credential capability when using Suprema’s BioStar Mobile Card.

XPass D2 readers come in 3 models to meet various project requirements and installation environments. XPD2-MDB features a mullion-type structure and XPD2-GDB and XPD2-GKDB models are gangbox-sized form factor and GKDB model comes with 3 x 4 keypads to support PIN authentication. To ensure reliable operation under dynamic installation environments, all XPass D2 readers feature outdoor-ready structure with range-leading IP67 weather-proof and IK08 vandal-proof certifications. Moreover, XPass D2 readers provide extra durability under extreme temperatures with operating temperature between -30° to 65°C (or -22℉ to 149℉).

"With the new addition of XPass D2 readers to CoreStation, Suprema’s ACU-based access control solution, we aim to provide new enterprise-grade features and added flexibility in system design. CoreStation is a clear alternative to the enterprises requiring higher level of biometric security and centralized access control system topology,” said Young S. Moon, CEO at Suprema.

Earlier this month, Suprema showcased XPass D2 readers at ISC West 2018 in Las Vegas and will be available for shipment from May 2018.
