Gunnebo Entrance Control has released AFL 3.6 series, the latest version of its established AFL speed gate, used in pre-security and self-boarding zones across global airports.
As the latest innovation from a global leader in entrance control solutions, AFL 3.6 introduces a series of measured design updates intended to align the product visually with Gunnebo Entrance Control’s broader airport portfolio, while leaving the proven functionality of the AFL 3.5 intact.
AFL 3.6 continues to support integration with a broad range of identity and verification systems, including Bar Coded Boarding Pass (BCBP) readers, QR code and passport scanners, and biometric recognition.
The new model features a reworked front section, simplified geometry and a minimalistic linear LED wayfinding system. The aim is to enable a sleek design, to blend with its surroundings, allowing the gate to be seen as less of a visual interruption in today’s increasingly design-conscious airport environments.
“This isn’t about changing what works,” said Alberto Fiorazzo, Product Manager at Gunnebo Entrance Control. “The AFL 3.6 is a response to the visual and architectural direction we see in terminals worldwide. It keeps everything our customers rely on and updates the aesthetic to reflect that context, streamlining passenger flow and maintaining secure zone transitions.”
For existing customers, the AFL 3.6 offers a direct upgrade path with full compatibility across backend systems. For new installations, it presents a visually streamlined option that doesn’t ask operators to compromise on technical features or integration scope.
Fiorazzo adds: “What this shows is how we never stand still. AFL 3.6 reflects our ongoing commitment to refining and evolving our product range not just through innovation in performance, but in response to how airport environments are changing.
“Every design decision has been shaped by customer feedback and real-world requirements. We’ve taken a proven solution and made it visually smarter, while keeping full compatibility and reliability intact. It’s part of our broader focus on delivering futureproof solutions that are relevant, stylish and dependable.”
