The Idemia range of Sigma biometric readers were supported on IXP through the use of Idemia’s Legacy 2G modes, to enable customers to migrate to newer technologies.
However, seven years later, Idemia has announced the removal of all Legacy Firmware from their portfolio. This means it will no longer be possible to install Legacy firmware on new Sigma devices.
Further, all future Idemia products will be equipped with firmware that prohibits the downgrade supported firmware for Legacy 2G and 4G models.
In addition, as you are aware, IXP is no longer supported for further software development by Impro Technologies. Customers wanting to deploy new Idemia Sigma readers will be required to upgrade to Access Portal.
Affected products:
Sigma Wide
Sigma Lite
Sigma Lite+
Sigma Extreme
