Boon Edam Inc. to Display Optical Turnstile Integrated with Biometric Technology at ISC East 2019

Boon Edam Inc., recently announced they are demonstrating an integrated optical turnstile solution in booth #703 at the ISC East exhibition in New York City, NY. ISC East is the largest security trade show in the Northeast region of the US, bringing together 7,000 security and public safety professionals with over 300 leading security brands for the 2-day event. Boon Edam is also the official turnstile sponsor of the show, which runs from November 20-21.

Tailgating and Piggybacking Detection through Integrated Turnstile Solution

Access control technologies are critical for granting or denying entry to secure areas within a building. However, these solutions must be integrated with security entrances to address the risk of intrusion from tailgating. Boon Edam will be displaying the industry’s slimmest optical turnstile, the Lifeline Speedlane Swing, with a custom, integrated pedestal that incorporates the MorphoWave™ touchless fingerprint technology from IDEMIA. This solution enables high throughput with the enhanced security of rapid biometric identification.

Unauthorized Entry Prevention through Security Door & Portal Solutions

Boon Edam entry experts will also be on-hand to discuss the entire range of security entrance solutions available, including the Tourlock 180 security revolving door and Circlelock mantrap portals. A popular choice among the Fortune 500, these solutions enable industries to comply with regulations by preventing tailgating and piggybacking without manned supervision. The Circlelock portals also enable true multi-factor authentication and provides valuable metrics to predict the risk of infiltration.

Boon Edam Turnstiles at the Main Entrance to the Exhibit Hall

For the 12th year in a row, Boon Edam is the official turnstile sponsor of ISC East. The company will display 5 lanes of the Lifeline Speedlane Open at the show’s main entrance. The Open turnstile is part of the sleek and modern Lifeline Series of optical turnstiles launched in 2015, which has helped propel Boon Edam to the market-leading position for security entrances, according to “Pedestrian Entrance Control Equipment” by IHS Markit® for the 2014-2016 period.

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
