BioStation 3 Max

Trust, engineered into every door.

Overview

BioStation 3 Max is Suprema's flagship AI-powered biometric terminal for identity-first security. Built for busy lobbies and mission-critical entrances, it combines a hardened, highly certified platform with fast, trusted multi-factor authentication and broad credential support in one enterprise-ready 7-inch touchscreen device. With CC EAL6+ certified components, secure boot, and face matching within 0.3 seconds, BioStation 3 Max delivers enterprise compliance without compromising throughput.

Key Features

AI-Powered Biometrics

Suprema's AI engine delivers face matching within 0.3 seconds and fingerprint matching at 400,000 matches/sec, accurate across all ethnicities, masks, glasses, and appearance variations.

CC EAL6+ Certified Security

Hardened platform with CC EAL6+ certified components, secure boot, secure Linux OS, and hardware tamper detection that triggers instant data wipe on device removal.

Multi-Credential Support

Face, fingerprint, RFID (EM, MIFARE, DESFire, FeliCa, HID iCLASS), NFC/BLE mobile, QR code, and PIN — all in one device with configurable multi-factor combinations.

Built-in VoIP Intercom

Integrated microphone, speaker, and SIP-compatible VoIP intercom lets users call reception or security directly from the door for supervised entry at lobbies and reception desks.

Template on Mobile

Store facial biometric templates on the user's own smartphone rather than a central database — POPIA-compliant privacy-by-design authentication with no server-side biometric storage.

7-inch Touch Display with PoE+

Interactive 7-inch IPS LCD (800×1280) with dual 2MP IR/visual cameras for liveness detection. PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) delivers power and data over a single cable on supported models.
