Questions
Common questions
What is the Suprema XPass Q2 best suited to?
Visitor entrances, gyms, co-working spaces, clubs and event venues that issue time-limited QR passes instead of plastic cards. Where it is the wrong choice: there is no biometric, so it confirms the pass, not the person. For staff attendance where buddy-punching matters, pair it with a fingerprint or face terminal.
How does the Suprema XPass Q2 connect?
It supports Ethernet, RS-485 (OSDP V2), Wiegand in/out, USB-C (firmware only). In UAE installations we normally run terminals on wired Ethernet, keeping wireless as the fallback where cabling is impractical.
What software runs the Suprema XPass Q2?
It works with Suprema's BioStar X security platform. We connect the attendance data through to payroll and produce a WPS-ready export, so punches become a payable file rather than a report someone has to retype.
Do you install and support the Suprema XPass Q2 across the UAE?
Yes. We supply, install, configure, train your team and support it across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain. Call +971 56 614 2543 or message us on WhatsApp for a fixed written quote.
