We are only one week away from the Biometrics Consortium Conference being held in Tampa, Florida, and before findBIOMETRICS and Mobile ID World begin to report live from the showroom floor, it’s time to take a look at one of the featured technologies being demonstrated there. Optical, fingerprint technology provider SecuGen Corporation has announced today that it will be showing off a completely new, smaller fingerprint reader, along with its OEM sensor version, which are both FAP 20 Mobile ID and PIV certified by the FBI.
Available for purchase in the near future, the new USB sensor, measuring only half the height of previous SecuGen offerings, has been designed with space restrictions in mind, allowing it to be integrated into a wide variety of hardware applications including ATMs, safes, time and attendance systems and numerous different access control infrastructures.
“Fingerprint readers are now being deployed in increasingly diverse environments and must be able to capture great images time after time without any degradation,” testified Dan Riley, vice president of engineering for SecuGen, to which the company CEO Won Lee added: “We are very excited about the development of our new sensor technologies. We are always looking for ways to provide our partners with state of the art products and tools.”
Like other SecuGen products, the company promises a very rugged device that produces high quality images, as can be attested to by the sensor’s FBI certifications. For those who will be attending the BCC next week from September 17th to 20th, the technology will be on display that booth 519. For those who will not be in Tampa for the conference, be sure to follow @MobileIDWorld on Twitter for up-to-the minute live reporting on both the BCC and Biometrics UnPlugged: Mobility Rules.
