Swisscom’s newest data centre is said to be the crown jewel among the 24 centres operated across Switzerland and aims to provide the highest standards in terms of performance, availability and security for their customers. Completed at the end of 2014, it is the largest data centre of Swisscom and one of the few data centres in Europe certified for maximum availability and top ratings for energy efficiency.

With the new system now implemented, the main entry to the building consists of RFID badge scanners followed by full metal detection units as used at customs control. TBS 3D-Terminals are the final step to access the most secure areas within the Swisscom building.

TBS 3D-Touchless Fingerscan provides Swisscom with a unique Swiss made technology proven in countless installations worldwide. The 3D-Touchless reader is thought to be the only touchless biometric technology using 3 cameras for the finger scanning process. This ensures no Failure-To-Enroll, avoids sensor damage and is most hygienic.

TBS’ Bioadmin Management Software was integrated into Securiton’s access control system, Securigate, enabling integration as a biometric subsystem via web services. With this innovative approach, responsibilities between biometrics and the overall security system remain cleary separated.

According to Swisscom’s project leader Rudolph Anken, Swisscom is highly satisfied with the new solution.
