New generation of contactless fingerprint terminals

Access & Identity Management Handbook 2022 Access Control & Identity Management

Contactless authentication terminals are now crucial in many public and private spaces, allowing for faster, more secure and barrier-free biometric authentication.

IDEMIA originally developed the MorphoWave contactless fingerprint readers with which users simply wave their hands in a quick and easy gesture to have four fingerprints 3D-scanned and verified in less than one second.

Launched in 2016, MorphoWave technology has proven a great success and is used at more than 15 000 entry points throughout the world. Now, in 2022, two new versions will be available for worldwide deployment:

The MorphoWave XP X-tended Performance provides a 20% increase in performance compared with the previous generation, itself recognised as one of the best in the world in the latest NIST rankings. It can be used in demanding deployments with up to 60 users per minute and up to 100 000 user records. Its large colour display is ideal for brand customisation and user interaction as well as time and attendance management use cases.

The MorphoWave SP Simplified Profile offers all the essence of MorphoWave to make IDEMIA security solutions accessible to a larger number of players: smaller installations and companies with less demanding requirements with up to 40 users per minute and up to 10 000 user records.

Both versions offer the plug-and-play features of Compact, including software integrations with 20 leading access control platforms as well as physical integrations with leading gates/turnstiles manufacturers to enable simpler and more cost-effective deployments.

“These two new products incorporate the most advanced biometric algorithms we have ever created, continuing the tradition of our award-winning solutions in the market. We are the only manufacturer of physical access control terminals to undergo such rigorous testing, demonstrating the reliability of our solutions. We will continue to invest in research for greater accuracy and security,” says Yves Portalier, executive VP Biometric Devices at IDEMIA.
