Tyco Security Products has acquired substantially all of the assets of Innometriks and 2DogsStudios, developers of readers, software and mobile solutions for FIPS-201 (Federal Information Processing Standard) smart card credentials.
Tyco says this acquisition strengthens its position in the US federal market by adding the Innometriks solution integrated into Tyco Security Products’ Software House C•CURE 9000 access control and security management ecosystem, as well as enabling integration with systems from other manufacturers. This is achieved with an open architecture that moves government credential authentication into the physical access panel, and leveraging OSDP (Open Supervised Device Protocol) capable readers.
Based in Oceanside, California, Innometriks, founded eight years ago, the company is also known for its fingerprint biometric readers and deep integration into physical access systems.
John Cassise, CEO of Innometriks, Inc, said: “We are very excited to be joining the Tyco family. Tyco Security Products’ leadership position in the access control market allows us access to expanded financial resources and channel reach. This will accelerate the momentum we’ve been building over the past three years, and brings full value to the investment the government has made in smart card based credentials.”
And Jason Ouellette, Product Line Director, Access Control, Tyco Security Products, said: “The combination of Tyco Security Products and Innometriks creates an offering that is fast, open, modular, and cost effective. The benefits of this acquisition not only extend to the government market, but also to commercial customers who require high assurance access control systems.”
