India's enterprise security market continues to expand, driven by the development of new airports, transit systems, data centres, and corporate campuses. As these facilities modernise, organisations increasingly require access control solutions capable of scaling alongside them. In response, Suprema presented its largest FSIE showcase to date, featuring an expanded booth and its most comprehensive hardware and platform lineup for the Indian market, reflecting Suprema's growing brand presence in the region.

Biostation 3 joined by flagship Biostation 3 Max

Biostation 3 is an internationally recognised product built on three strengths: accuracy, stable AI-powered facial authentication; a user experience optimised for real-world operating conditions; and robust data protection. Building on that global recognition, with demand that has been especially strong in India, Suprema presented its latest Biostation 3 Max, its new flagship terminal to customers in India for the first time.

According to the company, Biostation 3 Max is Suprema's most advanced biometric terminal, featuring enhanced platform security with a CC EAL6+-certified secure element and a full range of authentication methods: face and fingerprint biometrics at its core, alongside RFID, mobile credentials, QR codes, and PINs, all integrated into one hardened, identity-first platform.

A large touchscreen display and integrated VoIP intercom support verification workflows at main entry points while Power over Ethernet (PoE) simplifies installation and reduces deployment costs. Rounding out the hardware lineup, Xpass Q2, Suprema's intelligent QR/RFID reader, will also be on display for fast scanning at stadium entrances and coworking spaces.

Versatile platforms

At the show Suprema also displayed its security platforms, offering customers and integrators flexibility to deploy and manage access control in whichever way best suits their business, on-premises or in the cloud by choosing between Biostar X and Biostar Air without compromising on performance.

Biostar X, the on-premises platform, integrates access control, video surveillance, and third-party system integrations into a single system. It scales from small sites to large, campus-wide deployments. A unified monitoring console provides real-time visibility into access events and video feeds through interactive maps, enabling faster incident response.

Biostar Air, by contrast, is a cloud-native platform built for organisations seeking to expand without maintaining on-premises servers. Additional readers can be deployed within minutes across multiple sites using a single network connection. Mobile credentials are included as standard, saving organisations time and deployment costs.

Both platforms run on the same biometric, RFID, and mobile-ready hardware. Additionally, Suprema's Access Control Units (ACUs) let system integrators build either centralised or distributed architectures, allowing customers to select the deployment model that fits operational and IT requirements today and adapt as those needs evolve.

AI-powered search

Suprema also introduced Q-Face Finder, an AI-powered facial authentication solution designed to identify suspects and locate missing persons in public safety scenarios such as police deployments and across private-sector facilities, including department stores and casinos. By easily integrating with existing CCTV infrastructure, it identifies missing persons and suspects in real time, enabling operators to respond quickly and effectively. Leveraging a Geographic Information System (GIS), the solution visualises a movement path on a smart map, allowing operators to understand the overall situation intuitively and coordinate resources more efficiently.

Growing Ecosystem in India

To show how seamlessly Suprema’s technology fits into broader security environments, live demonstrations highlighted how Suprema hardware and software integrate with leading global access control and video management systems, such as Genetec and Milestone. 

“Strong technology alone doesn’t build a market position; a strong ecosystem does,” said Sachin Chadha, Country Manager of Suprema India & South Asia. “At FSIE, we are building exactly that: integrating with the access control and video management systems our customers already rely on and standing alongside partners who understand this market. That is how we will grow Suprema’s brand presence and footprint in India’s physical security industry, starting with proven hardware like Biostation 3 and Biostation 3 Max, and backed by the ecosystem that puts it to work for our customers.”
