SecuGen announced a technology and marketing partnership with access control developer Lucky Technology to develop biometric access solutions for North American schools. The solution integrates Lucky’s iGuard Access Control device and SecuGen’s SDA03M fingerprint module.

It is ideal, the companies say, for schools because the system is capable of locking down specific areas or all doors in the case of any incidents requiring the lock down of the school while still allowing total access to pre-registered first-respondents such as police or paramedics.
