Article 144 : Sigma Lite Series: a compact and high-performance biometric access control range

The Sigma Lite Series is a range of biometric terminals designed to deliver reliable, fast, and fully controlled access management, even in demanding professional environments. It combines proven biometric performance, robust hardware architecture, and strong integration flexibility, making it well suited for tertiary buildings, industrial sites, and sensitive infrastructures.

Developed by IDEMIA and commercialized notably in the Middle East by Biotime Biometrics, the Sigma Lite Series follows a long-term security approach focused on operational efficiency and system reliability.

Proven and fast biometric technology

The Sigma Lite Series relies on fingerprint recognition, a biometric technology widely recognized for its accuracy and reliability. The terminals integrate high-quality sensors capable of delivering fast identification, even with large user databases.

Their internal capacity supports tens of thousands of users and biometric templates while maintaining short recognition times. This performance helps ensure smooth access flows, a critical requirement for high-traffic sites or environments with strict operational constraints.

Advanced security mechanisms are natively embedded, including fake finger detection, duress finger management, and configurable anti-passback logic, strengthening protection against fraudulent or unauthorized use.

A structured range designed for real-world use cases

The Sigma Lite Series is available in several models to address a wide variety of installation and operational scenarios.

Compact versions are particularly suited for narrow door frames, turnstiles, technical rooms, or secondary access points. Other models feature a color touchscreen, enabling more advanced user interaction, especially in deployments combining access control with time and attendance functions.

The range also supports multi-factor authentication options, combining fingerprint biometrics with contactless card technologies according to site requirements. This modularity makes it possible to deploy a consistent solution while adapting to local constraints and existing security policies.

A technical architecture built for integration and durability

From a system perspective, the Sigma Lite Series is designed for seamless integration into existing access control infrastructures. The terminals support standard communication interfaces and access control protocols, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of security architectures.

Network-based power options simplify installation and reduce cabling constraints. The devices are engineered for intensive professional use, with a robust design suited to long-term operation in demanding environments.

Configuration and operation are optimized to minimize maintenance efforts while providing a high level of control over users, access rights, and event logs. This approach ensures stable, secure, and efficient operation over time.

With the Sigma Lite Series, biometric access control is delivered through a coherent, high-performance, and scalable range, perfectly aligned with the security requirements of modern organizations.
