The new smaller i-Evo Micro™ boasts many original i-Evo Ultimate™ reader features including multispectral imaging from Lumidigm, seamless integration and an 8,000 unique fingerprint capacity. Having successfully launched the original i-Evo Ultimate reader just two years ago, i-Evo has now successfully implemented the Lumidigm Mercury™ product to produce a lower cost biometric solution, based on responses from installers of the original reader. From this feedback, the idea of an indoors-only fingerprint reader was created which provides another choice for installers pursuing projects requiring a cost-effective, yet reliable and practical, security solution similar to the Ultimate product.

Micro also retains functionality with creams and powders on the skin as well as with the user wearing some types of latex gloves. Multiple mounting options provide the customer with choices on how to display their security system. Seamless integration into existing card, fob and proximity systems results in minimal disruption during the installation process.

Managing Director of i-Evo Shaun Oakes comments that, “Our new fingerprint reader for indoor environments maintains quality and reliability that many access control products lack. Having provisionally launched Micro to our existing customers, we received quotes for projects including cash offices, server rooms, office blocks and even people’s homes. This shows that, even though Micro is half the size, it is still as feature rich as the Ultimate reader and clearly has a market of its own.”

Simon Farmer from ACC Security Solutions has had a demonstration of the Micro reader and stated that, “It’s small, light and attractive, yet has many of the same features as the Ultimate. I will be recommending Micro to my clients as a dependable and reliable security solution.”

i-Evo Micro is now available to quote for projects. For pricing and technical information, contact the i-Evo sales and technical team at +44 (0)845 643 6632.

OSRAM LED allows for uniform, efficient illumination in compact package

OSRAM / Lumidigm

Lumidigm has selected the Pointled from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors as the illumination source in the company’s Mercury and Mariner Fingerprint Sensors (Lumidigm M-Series). Lumidigm has long been at the forefront of the fingerprint sensor market with its proprietary multispectral imaging technology. The recent adoption of the compact, bright and efficient OSRAM Pointled has enabled Lumidigm to reduce the size and cost of its sensors and expand the reach of fingerprint authentication into new applications.

Lumidigm is an innovator in fingerprint biometrics, providing state-of-the-art fingerprint scanning with special emphasis on high performance in real world conditions. Lumidigm’s patented multispectral fingerprint technology closes a 20% performance gap often seen with conventional technologies because it illuminates both surface and subsurface fingerprint features, ultimately collecting more biometric information from the finger than conventional sensors can.

“We chose the Pointled product from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors for our Mercury and Mariner product lines because of the unique combination of small package size, symmetric radiation pattern, long lifetime and the ability to operate in high ambient temperatures,” said Steve Corcoran, Lumidigm’s Chief Engineer. “These attributes made it possible for us to design a compact illumination system that produces a highly uniform and efficient lighting profile at the fingerprint reader platen. Thanks to the excellent output of the OSRAM Pointled, Lumidigm is able to leverage our multispectral technology in a compact fingerprint sensor series.”

The OSRAM Pointled is a perfect combination of advanced package and chip technologies. It is the smallest LED with an integrated reflector and is suitable for both surface mount technology (SMT) and zero-height mounting. Its compact dimensions – 2 mm diameter x 0.775 mm high – allow this mini light source to be sunk completely in the printed circuit board, making it ideal for applications such as the Lumidigm M-Series fingerprint sensors where space is at a premium. The typical brightness of the white mini LED is currently 800 mcd at a beam angle of 120°, perfectly suitable for this unique imaging application.

ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO – September 27, 2011 – Lumidigm today announced that Innometriks’ Rhino reader, which combines embedded Lumidigm fingerprint biometrics, smart cards, PKI and digital signature technologies, is handling high security applications in extreme weather and rough environments for multiple organizations of the United States Department of Defense (DoD). The Rhino’s U.S. Government credential configuration provides tiered authentication levels that meet the SP800-116 implementation guidelines. The Rhino is FIPS201-certified and approved by the TSA.

“Many of the DoD’s applications are used in areas where traditional biometrics were tried but failed,” explains John Cassise, Innometriks CEO. “Warfighters, first responders and many other DoD employees don’t have control over the environments in which they work and do not have time to wait for the biometric reader to get a correct read of their fingerprint. They need it to work the first time.”

“To be successful, many DoD applications demanded far greater reliability than conventional fingerprint technologies could deliver. Lumidigm’s multispectral sensors are demonstrating that they not only meet, but exceed those demands,” adds Bill Spence, Lumidigm vice president, transaction systems. “Lumidigm’s ability to get a great fingerprint image every time, regardless of the conditions, has significantly expanded the range of applications and environments where biometrics can be successfully deployed and scaled in the real world.”

Various DoD agencies are now securing outdoor vehicle and pedestrian perimeters as well as interior access points using the Rhino. The Rhino solution is also being used for cloud-based perimeter access control with biometric verification in real time. In these applications, literally around the world, the Rhino reader has withstood extreme environments and harsh abuse from users. In some cases, solutions have included customizations to meet specific application needs. In other applications, Rhino fingerprint biometric readers are working comfortably in tandem with iris biometrics to meet multi-biometric requirements.

“Pilot programs that had been stuck in the development stage for years have now been successfully moved into deployment with the introduction of the Rhino. The Lumidigm Advantage injected the needed reliability to scale these biometric applications effectively and achieve the required return on investment,” adds Cassise.

The Innometriks Rhino and Cheetah readers along with Lumidigm’s new Mariner fingerprint reader will be showcased at the Biometric Consortium Conference in Lumidigm booth 311.
