FC320 and FC350 are single fingerprint capture devices designed to meet the strigent USA government's FIPS 201/PIV requirement, an image quality level demanded by FBI’s Image Quality Specifications (IQS) for fingerprint readers. Startek's NIST MINEX-approved template extraction and matching algorithms (optional) can serve together with FC320 and FC350 .

FBI’s PIV testing ensures excellent image quality of the capturing hardware; NIST’s MINEX testing not only ensures accuracy of matching algorithms and characteristics extraction but also interoperability of extracted fingerprint templates. By meeting and exceeding the criteria of both PIV and MINEX testings, FC320 and FC350 prove to be perfect candidates for customers requiring fingerprint authentication applications to be compliant with FIPS 201/PIV, a sure trend of industry adoption, behind which objective, third-party certification against rigorous standards backs.

 

●  High scanning resolution 500dpi ± 1%

    enroll images and verify, and how to build and retrieve user profiles)

●  Standard USB2.0 connection interface

●  Rugged design with stylish housing

Here are a few application examples for FC320 or FC350 to fit in perfectly:

 

●  Fingerprint Capturing for National ID card / PIV card personalization

●  Fingerprint Enrollment and Verification Station

●  Social Security/Pension Schemes

●  Border Control

●  e-Passport and e-Visa Issuing and Verification

●  Law Enforcement / Criminal ID

●  Any other Fingerprint Registration Applications




Geographically, PIV standards set for national level project deployments like e-ID card and passport/visa issuing, law enforcement and border control, ... etc. will take place over the globe in a big way.




Besides biometric technology, various technology such as smart cards, RFID, or imaging and data processing may also be required to be integrated as one customer solution. Startek is positioned to be a one-stop shopping, pure-play, leader in the fingerprint enrollment / identification / verification space to work with integrators with presence in areas of above mentioned markets.
