Aratek recently launched the A900 ten-print scanner designed specifically for heavy-duty use in large-scale implementations.
The A900 is rated for superior image quality that exceeds strict standards set by the FBI for the use of the Live-Scan System (Rolls, plain & 4-finger) & Identification Flats (4-4-2 flats).
Compact IP65 protection
The newest Aratek fingerprint scanner is an FBI Appendix F certified FAP 60 device that comes in a rugged IP65 enclosure rendering it impervious to dust and moisture.
This makes the A900 the ideal fingerprint solution in all conditions, working as smoothly as it does even in the harshest environments.
Security, accuracy & easy-to-use
Security is a strong suit of the A900, which uses AES-256 encryption to ensure fingerprint data is not compromised
The A900 features a built-in 2.8” LCD screen plus a speaker which combines to give users a step-by-step audio-visual walkthrough of the entire enrollment process (sequence, position, enroll success & enroll fail, etc.).
Security is a strong suit of the A900, which uses AES-256 encryption to ensure fingerprint data is not compromised in transit as well as Live Finger Detection (LFD) to prevent fraud through spoofing.
A900
The A900 also supports ISO19794-2, ISO19794-4, ANSI 378, ANSI 381, and WSQ to enable data interoperability across agencies. The durable platen on the A900 is built to reject residues and can capture excellent images from any finger type: dirty, dry, moist, or rough.
The A900 comes with a comprehensive SDK in line with Aratek’s strong emphasis on development and integration, supporting sequence checking, NFIQ fingerprint image quality check, and slap fingerprint segmentation for 4-4-2 fingerprint acquisition.
Fingerprint device for digital identity schemes
A900 is well-positioned to be the backbone of digital identity solutions for applications that will soon become all-digital
“With the pandemic forcing businesses and governments to give the digital-first strategy a serious thought, identification and authentication will continue to provide the security underpinning for this move towards complete digitalisation,” noted Samuel Wu, Aratek’s VP for International Business Division.
Wu adds that in high-growth regions such as Africa and Latin America, the A900 is well-positioned to be the backbone of digital identity solutions for applications that will soon become all-digital such as Finance & Banking, National ID, Voter Registration, Census, Law Enforcement, e-Passport & VISA.
New biometric digital ID card
“Digital identity is reshaping business and governance in Africa and LATAM and is making a real difference in people’s lives. In Togo, authorities found innovative uses for the new biometric digital ID card, expanding its usefulness from its traditional use as a voter ID into something that greatly facilitates aid distribution during the lockdown."
"Citizens only need to present their existing digital ID to get financial assistance. What can be more convenient than that?” Wu said. Wu added that digital identity in Mexico is expected to explode in the next few years with more projects such as national ID, voter ID, e-passports, e-driver’s licences, and ID cards based on biometrics being lined up.
