New Suprema fingerprint scanner

Suprema has announced the global launch of BioMini Plus 2, a fingerprint authentication scanner which offers unrivalled image quality, durability and security features. The new BioMini Plus 2 tested in full compliance and received certification from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for the agency’s PIV-IQS/Mobile ID standards and also received India’s government STQC certification.

Designed for both PC and mobile-based fingerprint authentication, BioMini Plus 2 provides innovative features to enhance its image quality, performance and mobile-readiness. Suprema’s patented Multi Dynamic Range (MDR) technology guarantees high-quality image capture even under extreme lighting conditions (operates under direct sunlight up to 100 000 LUX) regardless of the moisture level of the captured finger’s skin. The MDR technology is specially developed for mobile environments where there are more dynamics in lighting and moisture conditions.

BioMini Plus 2 also offers a higher level of security by providing the company’s latest live fingerprint detection (LFD) technology, based on distinctive features of scanned images of fake fingers to those of live fingers. The new LFD technology effectively protects the system against unauthorised attempts with fake fingerprints. Moreover, BioMini Plus 2 features a high-precision, durable optical sensor, producing superb 500 dpi images. It comes with a versatile software development kit (SDK) that is ideal for developers to create custom applications.

“BioMini Plus 2 has been specially developed to meet the stringent requirements of government-level authentication projects which demand fast and high-quality image capturing. In addition, with its compatibility with Android systems and mobile-oriented MDR technology, we are keen to gain these fast-emerging mobile based applications,” said Dr. Bogun Park, VP at Suprema.

With the introduction of the new BioMini Plus 2 scanner, Suprema plans to continue its success on government-level identification projects further into mobile applications with its Android compatibility. In recent years, Suprema BioMini fingerprint scanners have been chosen for several worldwide civil and criminal ID projects in the United States, India, Brazil, EU and African countries.
