SecuGen to Showcase the Unity Bluetooth Fingerprint Reader and U20-ASF-BT OEM Bluetooth sensor at 2018 GSX

SANTA CLARA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- SecuGen, a world leading optical fingerprint device and technology vendor, is pleased to announce that it will be showcasing the soon to be released Unity Bluetooth fingerprint reader and the U20-ASF-BT OEM Bluetooth sensor at the Global Security Exchange expo in Las Vegas this month.

The Unity Bluetooth fingerprint reader is the world's first elegantly designed, low cost, fully programmable Bluetooth fingerprint reader. Developers can program the Unity Bluetooth fingerprint reader right out of the box by calling SecuGen's Fingerprint Management System (FMS) software's simple API. Alternatively, the Unity Bluetooth reader is fully programmable, sporting a complete Linux development environment, SecuGen's onboard fingerprint capture, template extraction and matching SDK, and a 1 GHz CPU.

The finished Unity Bluetooth reader is designed for either field or desktop use. It is small and sleek and can be carried in your pocket as a mobile fingerprint reader or placed solidly at a workstation. The Unity reader, like all SecuGen products, is priced for large scale deployments.

The U20-ASF-BT OEM Bluetooth sensor is the heart, soul, and brains of the Unity Bluetooth fingerprint reader and is available to hardware vendors for integration into their own products. Based on SecuGen's rugged, ultra-compact U20 sensor, the U20-ASF-BT can be embedded into hardware products where space is at a premium, such as handheld devices, ATMs, POS equipment, and access control devices. Like the Unity Bluetooth reader, the U20-ASF-BT can be used by calling the SecuGen Fingerprint Management System's APIs or can be programmed from scratch as a Linux device using the built-in MINEX-compliant fingerprint algorithms, OpenSSL crypto libraries, and 1 GHz CPU.

"Most of the existing Bluetooth products on the market are about as attractive as a deck of cards," stated Jeff Brown, VP of Sales and Marketing for SecuGen. "The Unity 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, VP of Engineering added, "Once again our engineering team has heard the voices of our partners and has designed world class products to meet their needs. The Unity Bluetooth and U20-ASF-BT are breakthrough products that maintain our dedication to quality. They are not only well engineered and versatile but very affordable, and the finished Unity Bluetooth fingerprint reader is truly a beautiful product."

"We continue to focus on the requirements of our partners around the world," stated Won Lee, CEO of SecuGen. "Unity Bluetooth and the U20-ASF-BT are a response to a clear need that we have seen in the marketplace. This is precisely what our partners have been asking for, and we are excited to support and help them succeed with new products that are attractive, powerful, and economical."

The Unity Bluetooth and OEM sensor will be on display in SecuGen's booth # 2983 at the 2018 GSX exhibition held at the Las Vegas Convention Center from September 25 through September 27 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

SecuGen to Showcase the UN20 Serial, a FAP 20, Low Cost, Optical, OEM Fingerprint Sensor at the RSA Conference

SANTA CLARA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- SecuGen, a world leading optical fingerprint device and technology vendor, is pleased to announce that they will showcase the UN20 Serial(TM) at RSA Conference 2017. The UN20 Serial(TM), a standalone, optical, OEM fingerprint sensor that is FAP 20 certified by the FBI.

The UN20 Serial is a serial interface sensor with a simple to use set of commands that allows the developer to capture fingerprint images, extract templates, and to enroll, search and match fingerprint templates. The UN20 Serial is small, rugged and durable, and highly accurate. The UN20 Serial hardware is FBI certified for use in the FIPS 201 PIV program under the FAP 20 category. The template extraction and matching algorithms running on the sensor are NIST MINEX certified.

SecuGen will showcase and demonstrate the UN20 Serial in booth # N4802 at RSA 2017, in Moscone Center in San Francisco, from Monday February 13 through Thursday February 16, 2017. SecuGen is known around the world as a manufacturer of high quality and rugged optical fingerprint sensors that are priced for large deployments.

UN20 Serial is the first of the Unity BDP (Biometric Development Platform) line of fingerprint products to be released. At the heart of the UN20 Serial, and all Unity BDP products, is SecuGen's FAP 20 certified U20 sensor combined with a fully programmable Linux system and integrated into one compact package almost identical in size to the U20 itself. The Unity BDP 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. SecuGen will be releasing a series of additional UN20 OEM sensors and Unity finished products over the course of the coming months. Development partners may also use the Unity Biometric Development Platform to develop a potentially limitless variety of custom designed fingerprint sensors to suit the needs of their customers.

Jeff Brown, VP of Sales and Marketing for SecuGen stated, "We looked at the old model of a sensor and a separate board running the extraction and matching algorithms and felt we could greatly improve upon that model. Our team has been able to unite all the parts of the OEM sensor and shrink them into one very small sensor. Embedding an open Linux development environment in the UN20 Serial makes this product unique in the industry. Combining all of this with an astonishingly low price is a major breakthrough."

"The SecuGen engineering team has come up with a new approach to delivering world class OEM sensors," commented VP of Engineering Dan Riley. "The UN20 Serial is the first product resulting from this approach. The Unity BDP upon which the UN20 Serial is based is not just a sensor, it is an entire development platform. The UN20 Serial is just the first product springing from the Unity platform. The uses for the Unity BDP are nearly limitless. It represents a giant leap forward in OEM fingerprint technology."

Won Lee, CEO of SecuGen, added, "For many years we have focused exclusively on delivering to our OEM partners the tools they need to compete successfully in this highly competitive industry. The UN20 Serial is the first of an amazing new product line, the Unity Biometric Development Platform (BDP). Unity BDP is the culmination of a decade of effort. We are very proud to be able to deliver the first product of this product line. More such products are coming and we believe that the industry will never be the same."
