After being named “Best New Product” by the Security Industry Association (SIA), the contactless biometric innovation from Morpho was awarded “Access Control Product of the Year” by Ifsec International and Firex International. The Judging Panel was composed of representatives from the security, academic and policing sectors. According to the organisers, this year’s edition of the Awards received a high number of quality entries.

Morphowave Tower is the first of its kind: it captures and matches four fingerprints simultaneously, as the user simply waves a hand over its sensor to be identified. Its touchless acquisition capability meets the growing demand for frictionless access control at high-traffic, sensitive, and secure locations. The users of Morphowave Tower can remain ‘on the move’ when passing through control points.

Matthew Insley, Morpho’s Regional Director of Sales for Biometric Terminals, said: “Right from the project launch, we had the firm conviction that our new product would be a major innovation for the access control sector. There’s nothing else like it on the market. We are extremely proud that an independent and high caliber jury shares our opinion.”
