ZKTECO USA integrates STiD Mobile ID for Advanced Contactless Access Control Offering

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- STid announced today that ZKTecoUSA has integrated the STiD Mobile ID® application with ZKTecoUSA's ZKey mobile credential app for a more comprehensive, advanced contactless access control offering. The combined, enhanced mobile application offers four unique modes for contactless identification to ensure users have multiple options to meet their individual needs and preferences in addition to secure and dynamic QR code support.

STid's Mobile ID is currently compatible with ZKTecoUSA's Atlas and Pro series access control panels and will be integrated into many other hardware and software solutions from ZKTecoUSA moving forward.

STid's Mobile ID simplifies managing and issued cards by using virtual cards on smartphones that can be used with or without conventional cards. Virtual access cards can be stored on STid Mobile ID App, for Android or iOS, available free of charge in app stores, for near instant issuing of credentials.

The four unique modes include:

* Badge mode: smartphone or wearable is presented like a convention access card

* Slide mode: hand becomes the access card

* Tap Tap mode: double tap the smartphone in a pocket for access

* Hands-free mode: ID is automatically detected

Hosted on the cloud or on-premises, STid's Mobile ID offers managers ease of use with multi-user or multi-site options and quick, easy management of virtual cards.

"Integrating with STid has allowed us to provide solutions for our customers that were not able to be previously met," said Prata Khadilkar, marketing manager, ZKTecoUSA. "Advanced features like Pocket & Wave mode allow us to stay ahead of the trends in the access control world. We have even been able to integrate the credentials into our existing ZKey mobile credential app already supporting our secure & dynamic QR codes for truly contactless access."

The new mobile application is available for use with the ZKTecoUSA Atlas Access Control Panel, which features an easy-to-use interface with fingerprint reader to ensure building managers can control and grant access to only those users who are authorized and supports both Wiegand & OSDP protocols. Mobile ID is also available with the popular Pro series tripod turnstiles for indoor environments.

STid's Mobile ID will also be added into ZKTecoUSA's BioSecurity software and solutions for a direct connection to create and send credentials to the users, Cielo 365 cloud solution and Atlas 360 hybrid-cloud solution later this year. Multiple ZKTecoUSA hardware kits will include an STid Mobile ID option moving forward.

"We're happy to combine strengths and expertise with another industry leader to deliver the best solutions to end users," said Frederick Trujillo, U.S. Director of Operations, STid.

Realtime North America and SecuGen Collaborate to Provide Strong Biometric Authentication to SAP

SANTA CLARA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- SecuGen, a world leading optical fingerprint device and technology vendor, is pleased to announce the exclusive integration of SecuGen fingerprint readers with realtime North America's bioLock software.

The Check ID in SAP fraud prevention and accountability technology provided in realtime's bioLock software is known to significantly increase SAP security by protecting any function in SAP with a 2nd biometric factor. Security is of paramount importance because 77% of all global business transactions touch an SAP system, which is used by most global Fortune 500 companies and governments.

As an example, bioLock can trigger the bioLock security check when a high-volume financial transfer is attempted. Also, bioLock can check the identity of one or multiple authorized users (if using dual controls) to limit the risk of corruption and collusion. A log file records all functions and the uniquely identifiable users who executed those functions. Therefore, if a user is trying to execute a protected function that they are not allowed to access, an automated message can instantly inform the security team that a potential fraud attempt is in progress.

Most fraud cases start with a borrowed password and an attempted account takeover. Realtime's granular biometric control center is installed inside SAP to protect SAP from the inside out. BioLock can protect not only the logon to SAP but, more importantly, any SAP transaction or function like saving or pressing the enter key. Fingerprints can help to undeniably connect a transaction with the user's true identity. So now, for example, you can prove who created the purchase order or issued that multi-million-dollar wire transfer.

Realtime's bioLock has been tested to work with some of SecuGen's best-selling fingerprint readers, including Hamster Pro 20, Hamster Pro 10, and Hamster Pro Duo SC/PIV. Each of these readers are FBI-certified for image quality and are used by commercial firms and governments around the world. SecuGen has designed these readers to be accurate, rugged, and affordable making them ideal for large deployments.

Jeff Brown, VP of Sales of SecuGen stated, "We are always on the lookout for partners who can take our fingerprint readers and add significant value in the marketplace. Realtime North America clearly does this with their software integration. BioLock provides tremendous value to SAP users who want to step up their security with powerful fingerprint technology."

"Our first bioLock technology was certified by SAP 20 years ago," added Thomas Neudenberger, Chief Operating Officer of realtime North America. "When it became time to build a brand-new fingerprint client technology from scratch, we choose SecuGen and built a client software that is exclusively compatible with SecuGen fingerprint readers."

Neudenberger continued, "With bioLock reseller partners in all continents, we had to integrate a high-quality fingerprint sensor that was globally available at a reasonable cost. SecuGen checked all the boxes. Certified for bioLock for 15 years, SecuGen was our recommended choice for fingerprint reauthentication with bioLock."

Won Lee, CEO of SecuGen said, "We have been partnering with realtime North America for well over a decade. This is the type of partnership we are always looking for. The software that realtime developed helps corporations solve real problems, and we are proud to be teaming up with them."

Securitronics Meets Rochester Regional Health’s Sensitive Security Through ZKTeco USA’s Touchless Biometric Access Control

ALPHARETTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Rochester Regional Health needed to enhance security at key health system facilities throughout Western New York. Securitronics, a security company specializing in the provision of intelligent, technologically empowered security systems was contacted for this project. In turn, Securitronics connected with ZKTeco USA to deploy a new state-of-the art access control solution using SpeedFace, a multi-functional, touchless standalone access control reader with facial and palm vein recognition.

Securitronics has installed these readers at various other facilities spread across multiple industries with great success, so it was pleased to help Rochester Regional to optimize its security while avoiding an overbearing or unwelcoming experience for staff and patients.

SpeedFace's contact-less capabilities have proven transformative in healthcare environments. Practitioners, nurses, support staff and administrative personnel often have their hands full with pushing wheelchairs, carrying trays of medical supplies or transporting sensitive equipment around facilities. But SpeedFace's hands-free, facial and palm vein recognition reading capabilities ensure that unencumbered door access can be gained with ease. This is essential in situations such as medical emergencies, where there is no time to waste looking for keys or access cards.

So, how does the technology work? SpeedFace is a fast-matching and highly accurate facial recognition platform, designed for indoor and outdoor use. It can store and match up to 50,000 face templates and 5000 palm vein templates, and within a second of recognizing a faculty member or patient's face, doors are immediately unlocked. Further, it's a multi-layered biometric access control solution that combines recognition technologies - face and palm vein identification - with body temperature and/or mask detection. It also has relay contacts for controlling the door locks and Wiegand and OSDP output to interface with third party access control systems as well.

This additional capability reinforces traditional security measures while maintaining COVID-19 sanitized environments - something essential in a healthcare context. SpeedFace not only met the health system's tiered security criteria, it did so while improving ease of movement around facilities and managing deployment costs.

ZKTeco USA's SpeedFace readers have met Rochester Regional Health's goals and Securitronics reports that the health system has found the solution to be straightforward and logical and its successful expansion of the existing access control system. Through SpeedFace, Rochester Regional now has greater peace of mind, confident in the knowledge that only authorized staff can gain access to security-sensitive areas.

Terry Rivet, President and CEO, Securitronics, said, "The client has found the solution to be easy to use, budget friendly and the expansion of biometrics into their existing access control system to be a valuable investment that will warrant continued expansion of their technology."

Manish Dalal, President and Founder, ZKTECO USA said, "We have been working with Securitronics since last 7+ years and have always met the unique security challenges posed to us from time to time by their customers with our huge biometric hardware and software portfolio."

SecuGen Releases Unity 20 Serial Standalone Fingerprint System

SANTA CLARA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- SecuGen, a world leading optical fingerprint device and technology vendor, is pleased to announce the official release of the Unity 20 Serial, an ultra-compact, RS232 serial interface fingerprint system that captures and matches fingerprints on the reader itself.

The Unity 20 Serial is SecuGen's next-generation fingerprint authentication system designed for integration into applications that need biometric authentication capability such as Point of Sale (POS) terminals, Time and Attendance (T&A) tracking stations, and other devices where a serial connection is required.

With a rugged and ultra-compact design, the Unity 20 Serial comes preloaded with SecuGen's Fingerprint Management System software that allows it to be used right out of the box to capture fingerprint images, extract templates, enroll, store, search, and match fingerprint data all in one device without the need for an external host. The Unity 20 Serial is FBI certified for use in FIPS 201 PIV and Mobile ID FAP 20 applications. The template extraction and matching algorithms that run on the device are NIST MINEX compliant.

The Unity 20 Serial replaces the older ID-Serial product, which offered similar functionality as a standalone fingerprint system with serial connectivity. The Unity 20 Serial now packs SecuGen's latest technology into a much smaller-sized device-74% smaller, that is-plus a separate DB-9 connector that makes it more convenient to integrate this all-in-one fingerprint recognition device into systems outfitted with serial ports. As with all its products, SecuGen maintains its focus on utility, quality, design and affordability, and the Unity 20 Serial-offered for 35% less than the price of its predecessor-is no exception.

The Unity 20 Serial is based on SecuGen's flagship all-in-one U20-ASF module that features the rugged, high image quality U20-A optical fingerprint sensor and a Single Board Computer having a 1 GHz CPU, a fully programmable Linux system, SecuGen's FMS fingerprint matching SDK, and OpenSSL cryptographic libraries. All of this is housed in the same ultra-compact package as the popular Hamster Pro 20, which provides the tools and technologies needed for rapid and efficient integration with other hardware systems.

Jeff Brown, VP of Sales and Marketing for SecuGen stated, "We are pleased to release the first standalone fingerprint system able to fit into the small form factor of our best-selling Hamster Pro 20. The Unity 20 Serial fingerprint system does more than just read fingerprints. It also carries out all the biometric functions of fingerprint processing, one-to-one and one-to-many matching, and secure storage all in one tiny device. The product is a technological marvel, and we're excited to make this available at an affordable price."

"The Unity 20 Serial fingerprint reader is the newest addition to the Unity family of products. It leverages the innovative Unity fingerprint platform that we designed to simplify the development of new products," commented VP of Engineering Dan Riley. "We've loaded plenty of great features including full programmability in the Unity 20 Serial without sacrificing quality, which is the core of all products we develop at SecuGen."

Won Lee, CEO of SecuGen, added, "As always, we focus on developing the products and tools our partners need to compete successfully in this highly competitive industry. The new Unity 20 Serial is a perfect example of this focus. Our team has worked long and hard on the Unity biometrics development platform. This is one more product that comes from that effort, and we are very proud to be able to offer this new fingerprint product to our partners."

An OEM version of the Unity 20 Serial, called the U20-ASF-SR, will soon be made available.

Voice Biometrics Shaping Up as Major Choice for Security and Healthcare

EDISON, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- Voice biometrics is shaping up as a major choice for security and healthcare in 2020. For example, Kaizen Secure Voiz (KSV), a respected leader in the voice biometrics industry, services a leading national security firm employing hundreds with more than 50% mobile guards in the field.

These personnel are spread throughout many organizations all over the nation. Mobile staff report to work in varying and decentralized locations. Another customer KSV services is an overseas hospital employing a workforce of hundreds of doctors and healthcare workers, more than 75% are mobile in the field. These employees are spread throughout their primary healthcare facilities and all over their country often visiting patients.

Keeping track of staff working in decentralized locations and hours is a laborious and time-consuming task. Web-based timecard submissions are not feasible for mobile workers who have no immediate access to the internet. To effectively manage and track these widely-dispersed personnel, the security firm and hospital rely on KSV's IVR-based voice biometric time and attendance system.

This workforce management tool has been an efficiency breakthrough for KSV customers, reducing labor costs, improving data accuracy and speeding up the payroll process. It is also a system highly valued by mobile staffers for its outstanding level of convenience that enables them to report their hours from anywhere and anytime.

To record and submit their working hours, customers mobile employees simply dial a toll-free number to access the IVR system. When prompted by voice cues, callers speak out their pass phrase (language and text independent) under 10 seconds. This IVR is preprogrammed to automatically understand their deployment location and time zone and update the same to the client's backend systems.

Call Centers are another industry using KSV's patented advanced authentication technologies. This is a low cost, more efficient and secure method for call centers to verify caller identity. A caller's voice password is set passively. When they call in again, they use natural speech for authentication, this provides significant time savings and allows representatives to focus on the higher-value tasks rather than the verification process, while also providing convenience for the caller.

"An enterprise can very easily adopt Kaizen Secure Voiz voice biometric product lineup when a customer reaches out to their contact center for any service or you can ask for explicit consent from customers and proactively enroll them," states Ashok Krish, President of Kaizen Secure Voiz. "It's user-friendly, safer, cost-effective and with user education can help one overcome any challenges faced."

KSV's patented voice biometrics & speech analytics software has also made contactless authentication possible without having to place hands anywhere near a scanner or take off face masks now required in public as a safety precaution. The technology allows enterprises to assess the nature of a transaction and determine which authentication levels are needed to successfully authorize a purchase helping to also reduce identity thefts. It uses the power of voice biometrics to automatically recognize a speaker by voice and to search for a specific speaker in an archive of speech records. KSV's advanced technology allows verification of the caller by his/her voice against thousands of voiceprints.

"Voice biometrics is emerging as a solution for AI-based behavior security, tracking and composite risk-based authentication," says Krish. KSV has developed advanced technologies to automatically extract the maximum amount of valuable information from spoken speech to identify, verify a user and provide analytics such as gender and age estimation as part of its speech data mining portfolio.

"Kaizen Secure Voice is committed to improving contactless biometrics security for use both from a technological advantage point and as a safety precaution during these uncertain times and in the future," adds Krish.

Simprints Launches 2nd Generation of their SecuGen Based Fingerprint Scanner, ‘Vero 2.0,’ to Improve Coverage of Vaccines and other Global Health Interventions

SANTA CLARA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Simprints, a Cambridge, UK-based biometrics company, develops Vero 2.0,​ an evolution of their original Vero scanner, based on SecuGen's fingerprint module, to improve the distribution of healthcare, microfinance, and aid to the poor around the world.

Simprints is a nonprofit technology company that develops and deploys biometric technology uniquely for global health and development contexts. Traditional "Western" biometric technology is less effective in such contexts, where the environment in which people live means that they are more likely to have scarred or worn fingerprints. In contrast, Simprints built their system to be highly accurate with these kinds of challenging biometrics. Simprints' solution integrates with existing mobile tools used by international NGOs and government ministries to verify that their services are reaching the intended beneficiaries. To date, the organization has helped more than 12 partners reach over 387,000 people across South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.

The development of Vero 2.0 was kickstarted by a partnership with Gavi, The Vaccine Alliance, and NEC to boost immunization coverage worldwide. Leveraging technology from Arm and SecuGen, Vero 2.0 has the following features: Near-Field Communications (NFC) to facilitate a seamless, wireless Bluetooth pairing with a mobile device; a redesigned printed circuit board (PCB) powered by the ARM Cortex-M0 32-bit MCU that enables streamlined manufacture; configurable LED colors for increased cultural acceptability and accessibility for the color-blind; fast image-transfer from scanner to mobile and backend storage for robust matching capabilities: and SecuGen's high-resolution fingerprint sensor module capable of achieving up to 1,700 DPI for detailed image capture. Simprints is working with local manufacturer, Prima Electronic Services, to build 1,400 units for immediate use in healthcare projects across sub-Saharan Africa.

An improvement on its predecessor, Vero 2.0 is highly accurate, durable, wireless, water- and dust-proof, and ergonomic for health workers in low-resource areas. This development will bring Simprints and its partners one step closer to accurately verifying the identities of patients from 1 year old and above, in order to ensure that every single person is reached with life-saving medical care.

"Simprints helps us save time and labor. We like working with the scanner because it's easier to identify patients," says a community research assistant in Malawi.

"Simprints makes our workflow flawless. We had challenges before, like supply bottlenecks. We'd end up giving too many shoes, only to realize not too many of these children actually exist. So, we tied our distribution to a fingerprint," says the leader of a local health organization in Kenya.

Jeff Brown, SecuGen's VP of Sales added, "We were delighted to support Simprints to develop a product that met their specifications while keeping the costs down. We are excited to have our fingerprint technology play a part in projects involving low resource settings where the lives of so many can benefit."

"Simprints is an impressive group of people with an equally impressive dedication to doing good in the world," stated Won Lee, SecuGen's CEO. "It is a privilege to work with them to bring such an important product to fruition."

Nick Russel, Chairman of Prima Electronic Services, said, "Manufacturing a product that has such a positive impact on communities is something the team here at Prima are very proud to be involved with."

SecuGen Brings Unity to Connect:ID 2020

SANTA CLARA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- SecuGen, a world leading optical fingerprint device and technology vendor, will be highlighting the Unity™ Biometric Development Platform (BDP) at the Connect:ID 2020 exhibition for next generation identity solutions. The Unity BDP is a versatile development platform that facilitates the creation of a wide array of fingerprint enabled biometric products, and Connect:ID is the ideal venue to showcase this exciting new platform.

Increasingly, customers are driving hardware device manufacturers to consider whether biometric security is appropriate for their products. SecuGen has now made it very easy to embed sophisticated fingerprint technology into many kinds of hardware products with its new Unity Biometric Development Platform.

The Unity BDP offers device manufacturers a flexible, expandable, and easy to use environment that provides a simplified way to embed fingerprint capability into various products such as access control devices, time & attendance machines, civil ID handheld devices, ATMs, industrial equipment, point of sale equipment, and much, much more.

With an integrated Linux development environment and embedded biometric fingerprint registration and matching functions, Unity BDP delivers efficiency of development in a very compact but powerful package.

SecuGen has used this same architecture as a springboard to accelerate the development of its own new products, which include both finished fingerprint readers and OEM modules. The Unity BDP underpins an expanding list of SecuGen's newest fingerprint readers like the Unity 20 Serial and Unity 20 USB, as well as the Unity 20 Ethernet and Unity 20 FIDO devices that will be released later this year. In addition, the Unity BDP serves as the basis for several of SecuGen's currently released and not yet released OEM fingerprint sensor modules such as the U20-ASF, U20-ASFX, U20-ASF-BT, U20-ASF-U, U20-ASF-SR, and U10-SF.

The Unity development platform provides engineering organizations with an FBI-certified FAP 10 or FAP 20 fingerprint sensor, NIST compliant template extraction and matching algorithms, and a set of tools that support both software and hardware expansion and speed up the development of new products. In addition to the ultra-compact sensor, the platform provides an open Linux system running on a 1 GHz CPU, and a modular design that easily accommodates standard interfaces such as serial, USB, Bluetooth, ethernet and more. Unity BDP includes an API that gives developers access to the template extraction and matching algorithms as well as the OpenSSL cryptographic library that allow for full, secure fingerprint biometric functionality within the very same device.

Using Unity BDP, many developers will find that there is no longer a need for a separate controller board since Unity BDP comes with its own fast processor, programmable Linux, and accessibility through common interfaces. This makes Unity BDP an ultra-compact, enormously capable, and affordable all-in-one biometric platform built upon SecuGen's renowned high-quality optical fingerprint sensor.

Developers are invited to learn more about the Unity BDP by visiting SecuGen's booth #542 at Connect:ID 2020 in the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Washington, D.C. on March 11th and 12th.

"We began work on the Unity BDP to advance the development of one of our new products," stated Jeff Brown, VP of Sales and Marketing for SecuGen. "As we proceeded, it became clear that this architecture would enable our partner's product development as well. Relentless effort by our engineering team has enabled us to go far beyond delivering a simple fingerprint sensor like in the past. Now, Unity BDP delivers a comprehensive set of tools that allow developers to create fingerprint enabled products quickly and efficiently. This platform is revolutionary."

VP of Engineering Dan Riley added, "Our engineering team has come up with a new approach to delivering world class OEM sensors. Unity BDP is not just a sensor, it is an entire development platform that is both software and hardware expandable. The uses for this platform are nearly limitless, and it represents an enormous leap in OEM fingerprint technology."

Won Lee, CEO of SecuGen, said, "For nearly the entire lifetime of SecuGen, we have focused exclusively on delivering to our partners the tools they need to compete successfully in this highly competitive industry. Unity BDP is the culmination of a decade of effort. We are very proud to be able to deliver the first product of its kind, a complete biometric development platform that is top-of-the-line, compact, and still, amazingly affordable."

Futronic Announces Launch of VS80 USB2.0 Finger Vein Scanner

HONG KONG /ScoopCloud/ -- Futronic Technology Company Limited, a global provider of fingerprint recognition software and hardware products, announces the commercial release of VS80 USB2.0 Finger Vein Scanner.

Finger vein is a hidden biometric pattern so it is harder to acquire an image for finger vein pattern than other biometrics such as face. Futronic VS80 finger vein scanner uses infrared light to obtain clear and contrasting vein image on CMOS image sensor. The optical system was specially designed to reduce the background noise in vein image.

"We have many years' experience in making optical fingerprint scanner which was well leveraged to develop the vein scanner," said YM Jiang, Futronic's Marketing Director. "Finger vein scanner is a natural extension of our current family of fingerprint scanners. This new device gives our worldwide customers a choice for more secure biometric technology."

As the company's other products, VS80 can work with all popular platforms such as Windows, Linux, MacOS and Android. Futronic also released a new version for FinLogon, a proprietary Windows logon control program by Futronic using fingerprint as one of the credentials.

With the new FinLogon, users can provide either finger or vein to logon Windows. It supports the simultaneous connection of fingerprint and vein scanner to PC. So this is a true multi-modal biometric Windows logon control program and makes multi-biometric-factors authentication a reality with an acceptable cost.

FinLogon is free software for customers who own Futronic's fingerprint and/or vein scanners. Besides Windows logon control, vein recognition is also very good solution for identity management in banking industry because of its high resistance to forgery and spoofing.

Futronic also provides Finger Vein Recognition SDK as a separate product. Interested parties can contact Futronic for details.

About Futronic Technology Company Limited:

The Unity 20 Bluetooth can also store encrypted fingerprint templates and process them in a closed environment without ever leaving the device.

"We have never had such a strong response to a product announcement. Customers love the look and feel of the device," stated Jeff Brown, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for SecuGen. "The Unity 20 Bluetooth reader breaks the mold and is a stunning device with a slim, sleek white case, a single button and three small LEDs. Our team has been able to do this while keeping the price of the product very low. We are very, very proud of this product. Our team has done a wonderful job."

SecuGen to Release the U10-SF, the World’s Smallest Programmable Fingerprint Module, at Connect:ID 2019

SANTA CLARA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- SecuGen, a world leading optical fingerprint device and technology vendor, is pleased to announce the official release of the U10-SF, an ultra-slim standalone fingerprint sensor module designed for OEMs and developers to integrate with their products that require fingerprint biometric functionality.

With a very compact modular design capable of being embedded into a wide variety of hardware products, the U10-SF can store up to 20,000 fingerprint templates or 10,000 users and comes preloaded with SecuGen's Fingerprint Management System software that allows it to be used right out of the box to capture fingerprint images, extract templates, enroll, search and match fingerprints all in one device.

The U10-SF hardware is FBI certified for use in FIPS 201 PIV and Mobile ID FAP 10 applications. The template extraction and matching algorithms that run on the device are NIST MINEX compliant.

The core of the U10-SF sensor module is the rugged, high image quality U10 optical fingerprint sensor. The U10-SF features a Single Board Computer having a 1 GHz CPU, a fully programmable Linux system, SecuGen's fingerprint matching SDK, and OpenSSL cryptographic libraries. All of this is integrated into a compact package almost identical in size to the ultra-slim U10 itself. The U10-SF provides the tools and technologies that allow for the rapid and efficient development of a wide variety of embedded fingerprint solutions where high quality, rugged design, and affordability are key factors.

Jeff Brown, VP of Sales and Marketing for SecuGen stated, "The U10-SF optical fingerprint sensor module is the culmination of a multi-year development process. One strand of that process was to reduce the size of the sensor to our smallest ever. The second strand of the process was to merge a Single Board Computer with the fingerprint sensor module and embed an open Linux development environment, making this product unique in the industry. Combining all of this with its low price and astonishingly small size is a major breakthrough."

"The SecuGen engineering team has continued to innovate and has developed a new approach to delivering world class OEM sensors," commented VP of Engineering Dan Riley. "The U10-SF combines very challenging design goals: small size, a fully programmable device, and an affordable price. Our team has successfully delivered on this vision with the U10-SF. We are very excited about this product."

Won Lee, CEO of SecuGen, added, "As always, we have focused on delivering to our OEM partners the tools they need to compete successfully in this highly competitive industry. The U10-SF is a perfect example of this focus. Our team has worked long and hard on this product, and we are very proud of the outcome."

Customers love the look and feel of the device as most of the existing Bluetooth products on the market are about as attractive as a deck of cards," stated Jeff Brown, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for SecuGen. "The Unity 20 Bluetooth reader, on the other hand, breaks the mold and is a stunning device with a slim, sleek white case, a single button and three small LEDs. Our team has been able to do this while keeping the price of the product very low. We are very, very proud of this product. Our team has done a wonderful job."

Dan Riley, Vice President of Engineering added, "Our engineering has done a great job implementing the BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) protocol for compatibility with Apple's iOS devices.
