CEM secures new 200 million Euro terminal at Budapest airport
Belfast, UK
S610e IP card readers feature LCD screens to provide staff with instant feedback on the system such as wrong time zone, card expiring’ etc. With the added benefit of a keypad, staff can also enter PIN codes for additional security. The S610e reader offers the highest level of reliability as it features an internal database for offline card validation. This means that should communication be temporarily lost with the host AC2000 server, staff can still validate cards using the card records stored in the reader’s internal memory.
The project also utilises the CEM S610f fingerprint reader for added biometric security at critical airside/landside boundaries. The reader eliminates the need for a separate biometric system as fingerprint templates are captured at the same time as capturing other cardholder details on the AC2000 system, such as personnel information and image. The AC2000 software does not store an actual image of the fingerprint anywhere in the system. Instead a unique ID number is derived from the fingerprint scan and is stored into both the AC2000 central server database and the S610f Fingerprint reader database at the door.
“In addition to extending the AC2000 system to support the new Sky Court building, Budapest Airport security system was also upgraded to meet their changing needs”, said Andrew Fulton, Business Development Manager, CEM Systems. “The upgrade included customised modifications to the airport’s AC2000 visitors application, as well as the move towards highly secure Picopass smartcard technology”.
“The move towards Picopass smartcard technology was an important step for Budapest Airport as it brings their system in line with the latest technology” said Bela Troszt, Consultant, Bull Hungary.
