The Challenge
Like many companies that implemented biometric access control as an early adopter, the biometric solution used by DISH Network had reached end-of-life and the company was searching in the market for a more advanced replacement system. They required new technology that would deliver reliability and accuracy as well as a new provider that could deliver responsive, expert technical support to their access control and surveillance department.
The Need for 1:N Over 1:1 Match
DISH Network was searching for a new biometric access control system that would be fast and reliable for a large employee base of over 5,500 spread across seven different physical facilities throughout the United States. The new system was specified to use the more convenient one-to-many (1:N) matching technology over their past use of a limited one-to-one (1:1) match. It must also have flexible authentication options to address some operational differences across a few of the facilities.
