Alphatronics offers Lumidigm fingerprint sensors in access control solution

Monday, May 12, 2008

Lumidigm and Alphatronics are creating an outdoor biometric access control solution called OctoLine utilizing the Lumidigm Venus fingerprint sensor. The Alphatronics OctoLine is a set of modular components that can be configured into a custom access control solution.

The Fingerscan biometric module employs Lumidigm’s fingerprint sensor in indoor or outdoor environments. Other OctoLine modules include contactless card readers (proximity and MIFARE), bar code scanners, LED displays, touch screens, and ticket printers. This rugged access control solution performs outdoors in all weather conditions. [end] 

Lumidigm has announced that it has entered a partnership with identity solutions distributor IdentyTech Solutions for distribution in Israel.

The new agreement will see IdentyTech’s terminals and other identity solutions integrated with Lumidigm’s multispectral fingerprint scanners, which use both surface and subsurface fingerprint data for a more accurate print match in both good and poor environments. In addition to the agreement expanding Lumidigm’s reach, IdentyTech is also involved in field testing Lumidigm’s products bringing them new clients as well as new applications for use of the technology such as civil ID and access control applications.
