ORLANDO, Fla. (May 20, 2008) – BioTraits, a biometric technology company, has been awarded a contract to replace a biometric security system at the Solaire condominiums in downtown Orlando.
Peter Wengert, chief executive officer, said BioTraits is installing
its patented I-Guard Finger Scanner along with a key-fob system
that allows residents’ access to the building and their individual units, as well as elevators, the fitness center, lounge and other common areas of the 23-story building at the corner of Magnolia and Church Streets. The I-Guard system is also being installed on the handicap entrance at the building’s main entrance off of Magnolia Avenue.
BioTraits wasn’t the first to install a biometric security system and access control at the Solaire.
“When they [Solaire] came to us they were really in a bind,” Wengert said. “They had already paid a considerable amount to a Canadian company for a system that was installed. But it didn’t work. They brought BioTraits in to provide a system that does work.”
“We’re a local, full-service operation with a unique product and we’ve signed a five –year contract to provide service at Solaire. We will begin training Solaire management and residents on the I-Guard system very soon.” said Wengert.
BioTraits is a client of the UCF Incubation Program at the Technology
Incubator in the Central Florida Research Park.
