BridgePoint has been developing, building and marketing smart card enabled solutions and access
control readers for over eight (8) years - longer that any competitive firm. Customers include
the Federal Government and some of the nation's largest government contractors, security integrators
and vending equipment route operators.
BridgePoint's smart card readers were the first to be demonstrated to the U.S. Department of Defense
after the 9/11 terrorists attacks and BridgePoint was the only firm qualified by the U.S. Army to
develop and install a smart card and biometric based physical access control system in a real-world
test at Ft. Belvoir, Virginia. BridgePoint's system integrated the Department of Defense
Common-Access-Card (CAC) and fingerprint biometrics to secure building access.
The Company also produces the state-of-the-art smart card system for property management,
combining access control and stored value vending on one card.
BridgePoint solutions are deployed in hundreds of commercial buildings and the Company has
installed smart card access devices and systems on more U.S. Military bases than any competitor.
The Company's access systems and interoperable readers are designed to operate with the CAC
and other federal smart cards including the TWIC (Transportation Workers Identification Credential)
being deployed by the Department of Homeland Security.
BridgePoint's unique patent portfolio includes two patents that cover use of smart card readers
in legacy access systems that can interface multiple types of cards with multiple
types of applications.
The BridgePoint Mission
In these times of uncertainty, BridgePoint provides needed solutions that enable our customers to
manage access to their facilities, services and return-on-investment.
Our standards-based, customer-driven solutions are designed to insure that those gaining access
are only those who were authorized. We recognize that people depend on our solutions daily and
our Company Mission is to deliver the service and support that our customers will adopt as
their measure of security excellence.
The BridgePoint Vision
Security is about trust. In the real world, we must trust the people we choose to give access to
our "space" - our facilities, information and capital resources. Trust is built through standards-based,
open solutions that have been proven over time. At the same time, we have learned that our customers
are unique, each needing a customizable "drawbridge" to perfect their security.
At BridgePoint, we develop embedded access solutions that are based on innovation and empowerment
of every individual's view point.
