Key Source integrates Lumidigm scanners

Wednesday, February 22, 2012

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.

Lumidigm is known for its fingerprint readers, which incorporate multispectral imaging, a technology that designed to overcome the fingerprint capture problems that conventional imaging systems face in less-than-ideal conditions, such as those found in health care. Capable of viewing both the external and internal fingerprint below the skin’s surface, the Lumidigm Mariner does not require clean and perfect contact between the finger and the sensor to quickly and reliably authenticate users.


Key Source brings the Lumidigm scanners to a range of business opportunities such as secure data access to multi-user workstations, electronic medical records, enterprise single sign-on, point-of-sale applications, time and attendance data collection, quality control and standards compliance, laboratory equipment sign-on, data network access and other Windows-based applications in which organizations need to get a fast fingerprint read on the first try.

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.
