Alphatronics Offers Lumidigm Fingerprint Sensors in Access Control
Solution
Unique Multispectral Fingerprint Sensor Ensures Reliability in Any
Environment
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) May 11, 2008 --
Lumidigm, the multispectral biometrics company, and Alphatronics (AT)
have teamed to create a state-of-the-art outdoor biometric access
control solution. After 20 years of providing reliable outdoor access
solutions to customers across Europe, Alphatronics has utilized the Lumidigm
Venus fingerprint sensor to create the first biometric component of
its modular access product offering, called OctoLine.
The Alphatronics OctoLine is a set of modular components that can be
configured into a custom access control solution. It comes complete with
the OctoLine driver software which enables easy integration into any
application. The Fingerscan
biometric module employs Lumidigm’s
fingerprint sensor for superior biometric performance in any indoor or
outdoor environment. Other OctoLine modules include contactless card
readers (proximity and MIFARE), barcode scanners, versatile intercom
systems, button selectors, LED displays, touch screens, and ticket
printers. This rugged access control solution performs outdoors in all
weather conditions while maintaining an elegant aesthetic for high-end
applications.
Alphatronics has been providing reliable outdoor access control
solutions since 1988. “Over the years, we
have been wary of including biometrics in our product line because of
concerns about performance in harsh real world environments,”
said Joost Boel, General Manager at Alphatronics. He continued, “Our
AT brand has always stood for the highest levels of quality and
reliability. When we saw the Lumidigm sensor, we knew immediately that
we could confidently offer this biometric option to our customers.”
Lumidigm’s fingerprint sensors capture
accurate and high-quality fingerprint images by using multispectral
light to collect data from both the fingerprint on the surface of the
skin and the identical “inner fingerprint”
beneath the surface. This multispectral imaging capability permits
Lumidigm sensors to be used in environments where other sensors fail.
For example, rain on the platen will not prevent a Lumidigm sensor from
obtaining a high-quality fingerprint image.
“Alphatronics built their reputation on
robust, reliable outdoor access control—they
know it better than anyone,” said Bill
Spence, Lumidigm’s Vice President of
Transaction Systems. “Adding a biometric
component expands their markets and meets a growing customer need for
reliable fingerprint applications in harsh environments like ports,
airports and transportation venues.”
Alphatronics currently markets OctoLine in Europe. UK Biometrics markets
the same product throughout the United Kingdom under the brand name
Evolution. Both companies will officially launch the product at booth
#11060 at IFSEC in Birmingham, UK from May 12-15, 2008.
