UPEK’s new TouchChip® Fingerprint Sensors promise to expand the biometrics market and enable new applications for government and international ID programs and enterprise physical and logical access by leveraging:

• Silicon fingerprint sensor technology - lower cost, more compact, and lower power consumption than optical-based fingerprint sensor technology
• Government certification - the TCS1 is the only FIPS 201 certified silicon fingerprint sensor
• SteelCoat™ - sensor coating technology delivers greater durability
• Digital ID Hardware Engine™ (TCD50) for match-on-device functionality and industry standard interoperability
• Module (TCEFC1) for drop-in integration of FIPS 201 certified sensor with TCD50
• Common application programming interface (BSAPI) for TouchChip and TouchStrip® sensors, enabling software developers to address multiple markets
