Parabit and IDEMIA Bring Biometric Access Into the Built Environment

Biometric access control has become a defining feature of modern entry design. It is now common across corporate offices, airports, stadiums, data centers, and other high security environments where identity needs to be verified quickly and consistently.

But while biometric technology continues to advance, the success of a deployment still comes down to something far more physical. Where the device sits. How it is mounted. How well it holds up in daily use. And whether it integrates into the entry point like it belongs.

This is the space where the partnership between IDEMIA and Parabit makes its impact.

Where biometrics meet the built environment

IDEMIA devices are designed to support secure identity verification at scale. They are used in some of the most demanding access control environments in the world.

But even the most advanced biometric device can fall short if it is installed without the right physical infrastructure. Entry points are not uniform. Walls vary. Turnstiles vary. Mullions vary. Traffic patterns vary. Lighting varies. Indoor and outdoor conditions vary. And in high volume facilities, a device has to stay secure and aligned through constant daily use.

Parabit designs and manufactures the mounting and enclosure solutions that help biometric technology perform reliably in these real world conditions.

The role of mounting in biometric performance.

Mounting is often treated as a final step. In reality, it influences almost every part of how a biometric system performs.

A mount determines how consistently a device is positioned for users. It affects whether the device remains aligned over time. It can protect hardware from impact, tampering, or harsh conditions. It can also shape the entry experience itself, especially in modern facilities where aesthetics and clean architecture are part of the design standard.

When mounting is handled correctly, biometric access feels seamless. When it is handled poorly, the entire entry point becomes a friction point.

Solutions designed for real world access points

Parabit supports IDEMIA deployments with a full range of hardware solutions, including:

Wall mounts and mullion mounts for clean, space efficient installations

Turnstile mounting brackets designed for controlled entry lanes

Posts and pedestals that position devices consistently in open environments

Protective housings that support long term durability and secure placement

Custom configurations that align with the infrastructure of each site

These solutions are built to integrate into existing environments without disrupting operations. For facilities that are upgrading access control without rebuilding entry points, this matters.

A cleaner install and a more consistent experience

Biometric access control is not only a security function. It is also an experience.

For employees, tenants, travelers, or visitors, the entry point sets the tone for the entire facility. A device that is mounted cleanly and positioned correctly supports faster throughput, fewer failed reads, and less confusion at the door. For security teams and integrators, it reduces installation variability and helps ensure each device performs as expected.

The right mounting approach also supports accessibility requirements, including adjustable positioning that helps align with real world ADA considerations.

Built to hold up in high traffic environments

Biometric devices are often installed in places where traffic never stops.

Corporate headquarters see daily employee flow. Airports operate across multiple shifts. Stadiums face surges. Data centers require consistent security controls with minimal tolerance for downtime. In these environments, hardware needs to be durable, stable, and designed to withstand impact, vibration, and constant use.

Parabit mounting and enclosure solutions are engineered to meet these demands while maintaining a clean and professional aesthetic.

The partnership behind the entry point

The partnership between IDEMIA and Parabit is not about adding more hardware. It is about making biometric access work in the built environment, where real entry points are shaped by architecture, traffic, and operational realities.

Together, IDEMIA and Parabit bring biometric access out of the box and into the built environment, with the physical infrastructure to match the technology.
