SecuGen to Showcase New Unity™ 20 Bluetooth Fingerprint Reader at the RSA Conference 2019

Santa Clara, Calif. (February 18, 2019)

SecuGen, a world leading optical fingerprint device and technology vendor, is pleased to announce they will be showcasing the new Unity™ 20 Bluetooth fingerprint reader at the RSA Conference 2019 in San Francisco in early March.

The Unity 20 Bluetooth is the world’s first elegantly designed, low cost, fully programmable Bluetooth fingerprint reader. This versatile device features SecuGen’s flagship U20 fingerprint sensor found in the Hamster Pro 20 product family but with Bluetooth capability that allows it to securely transfer fingerprint data wirelessly to a smartphone, tablet or PC. It is sleek and small enough to be carried in a pocket as a mobile fingerprint reader or placed solidly at a workstation and used as a traditional desktop reader.

The Unity 20 Bluetooth can be used right out of the box by calling SecuGen’s Fingerprint Management System (FMS) software’s simple API. Alternatively, it can be custom programmed to suit the needs of the targeted user base. It sports a complete Linux development environment, SecuGen’s on-board fingerprint capture and NIST MINEX-compliant template extraction and matching algorithms, the OpenSSL cryptography library, and a 1 GHz CPU. The Unity 20 Bluetooth can also store encrypted fingerprint templates and process them in a closed environment without ever leaving the device.

“Most of the existing Bluetooth products on the market are about as attractive as a deck of cards,” stated Jeff Brown, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for SecuGen. “The Unity 20 Bluetooth reader, on the other hand, breaks the mold and is a stunning device with a slim, sleek white case, a single button and three small LEDs. Our team has been able to do this while keeping the price of the product very low. We are very, very proud of this product. Our team has done a wonderful job.”

Dan Riley, Vice President of Engineering added, “Once again our engineering team has heard the voices of our partners and has designed a world class product to meet their needs. The Unity 20 Bluetooth is a breakthrough product that maintains our dedication to quality. Not only is it well engineered and versatile, the affordable Unity 20 Bluetooth fingerprint reader is also a beautiful product.”

“We continue to focus on the requirements of our partners around the world,” stated Won Lee, CEO of SecuGen. “The Unity 20 Bluetooth is a response to a clear need that we have seen in the marketplace. This is precisely what our partners have been asking for, and we are excited to support and help them succeed with new products that are attractive, powerful, and economical.”

The Unity 20 Bluetooth fingerprint reader, like all SecuGen products, is priced for large scale deployments. It will be demonstrated at SecuGen’s booth #4338 at the Moscone Center in North Hall from March 4 through 7.
