Lumidigm partners with Innometriks

Tuesday, September 20, 2011

Lumidigm has announced that its Mercury line of multispectral fingerprint scanners has been chosen for integration into the Cheetah line of card readers from card reader developer Innometriks.

Lumidigm Mercury multispectral fingerprint sensors capture fingerprint data beneath the surface of the skin so that dryness or even damaged or worn fingers create no problems for reliable reads.


Using multiple wavelengths of light and advanced polarization techniques to extract unique fingerprint characteristics from both the surface and subsurface of the skin, the sensors provide Cheetah users with results that are more consistent results.

The Innometriks Cheetah reader and Lumidigm’s new Mariner fingerprint reader will be showcased at ASIS in Orlando, Sept. 19-21 in Lumidigm booth 2937 and at Biometrics Consortium Conference in Tampa, September 27-29 in Lumidigm booth 311. [end] 

Key Source International announced that it has integrated the Lumidigm Mariner fingerprint reader into the KSI-1700 professional series keyboard system. Offering integrated security and auto ID in a HIPAA-compliant desktop solution, the KSI-1700 keyboard system with the Lumidigm reader will be introduced at HIMSS in Las Vegas.
