David Cronk, access control technology director, talks about the touchless fingerprint biometric reader, which can read up to four fingerprints at a time, on display in the Infrastructure Solutions Lab. Contrary to popular belief about biometrics, these readers use an algorithm of users’ fingerprint patterns — not their fingerprint itself — to grant access. Photo by SDM staff.

Data cabinets on display are deliberately placed away from the wall to allow visitors a 360 degree view since dealers and integrators have expressed great interest in technicians constantly needing access to the backs of such cabinets. Photo by SDM staff.
