HBOX^® is amulti-modal biometric device, combining the iris and the face, to deliver a high level of security with convenience, ease-of-use, high person-throughput, and cost-effectiveness that has, until now,limited the wide spread deployment of biometric security systems.

The technology is enabled by GRI’s proprietary HCORE™ modules, consisting of embedded processors, sensors and IR panels running multiple wave lengths. All operating and processing parts of the HBOX^®, as well as components optimizing camera performance are contained within the housing.

HBOX^® is an over-the-door device that can be used indoors, as well as outdoors, with multiple mount options, ranging from mobile stands and fixed frames to wall mounts. HBOX^® measures 64”/1.6m(W) by 14”/0.35m(H) by 12”/0.3m(D).

HBOX^® has a person throughput of up to 50 people per minute, and also can be configured to serve different security needs with various throughput requirements. HBOX^® is ideal for high throughput environments such as airports, stadiums and construction sites.

HBOX^®, unlike other iris biometric products currently in the market, can even be used on non-cooperative users, owing to its unobtrusive operating capability. HBOX^® can be configured to serve as an electronic physical access control system and is a genuinely new paradigm in access control. Unlike other iris systems HBOX^® is trivial to use and has mass-person-throughput capability.

HBOX^® hardware is complemented by SAMBI^® (biometric acquisition) and biometric matching softwares. HBOX^® offers privacy protection with “Identification in Anonymity™,” where by users are given the option of not disclosing any identification data about themselves as they enroll, as matching is performed of the biometric images and not of their names for example.

HBOX^® also has optional “Enrollment on the Fly^®” capability. HBOX^® provides identity security through live iris verification:

• A user has to be physically present at time of biometric identification.
• Identity cannot be stolen as credit card numbers; PINs, usernames, and passwords can and are.
• A person with an image of an iris of another person, either in photo or video CANNOT commit fraud by pretending to be the actual owner of the identity.
