How to modernize access control: Suprema BioStar Air wins a&s Adria 2026

Physical security teams are moving away from on-premise access control servers toward cloud-native platforms that reduce hardware footprint, cut maintenance effort and scale across multiple sites. Suprema BioStar Air answers that shift with a fully cloud-based access control service that pairs with Suprema biometric and card readers. Softprom is the official distributor of Suprema Inc.

What was announced

Suprema BioStar Air has been named winner in the Access Control category at the a&s Adria Awards 2026, marking the second consecutive year the platform receives this recognition. The award, organized by a&s Adria magazine, highlights products that deliver measurable value to security integrators and end users across the Adriatic market.

BioStar Air was recognized for its cloud-first architecture, native integration with Suprema biometric devices and simplified deployment model for distributed sites.

Why this matters

For CIOs, CISOs and physical security directors, repeat recognition from an independent industry jury is a signal of product maturity. Two consecutive wins reduce procurement risk when evaluating cloud access control against established on-premise suites.

Winning the Access Control category two years running validates the direction we have taken with cloud-native biometric access
