U20-ASF-BT2

 

The U20-ASF-BT2 is an advanced, stand-alone fingerprint recognition system that captures and stores fingerprint data and identifies or verifies registered users. It is the wireless member of SecuGen’s Unity OEM Modules: all-in-one, stand-alone fingerprint systems designed to function entirely without an external PC.

 

With its ultra-compact and rugged design, the U20-ASF-BT2 can be integrated into access control units, door locks, ATMs, handheld devices, laptops, point of sale equipment, industrial equipment and many other kinds of products. It can communicate with external devices via Bluetooth and is interoperable with data input from SecuGen USB fingerprint readers for a wide variety of implementations.

 

The U20-ASF-BT2 consists of the SecuGen U20-A, an FBI-Certified FAP 20 Fingerprint Sensor, integrated with a programmable Single-Board Computer (SBC) that includes on-board CPU, SDRAM, flash memory, and a Bluetooth module.

Features of Fingerprint Sensor

 

  • Rugged, high image quality fingerprint sensor that is both FBI Certified (PIV, FIPS 201, Mobile ID FAP 20 Compliant) and STQC Certified. Meets FBI Image Quality standardsThe fingerprint sensor was certified by the FBI as tested and in compliance with the FBI’s Next Generation Identification (NGI) Image Quality Specifications (IQS). The review of the test data was conducted by the FBI / Criminal Justice Information Services Division / Global Operations Section, as part of the Biometric Center of Excellence.
  • Built upon patented technologies that allow rapid capture of high-contrast, low-distortion fingerprint images
  • Smart Capture ensures high quality imaging even from traditionally difficult fingerprints, such as dry or moist fingers, as well as under very bright conditions, such as outdoors in sunlight
  • Auto-On for automatic detection of a finger when placed on the sensor

Advantages of U20-ASF-BT2

 

Non-optical fingerprint sensors based on capacitive or semiconductor technology are frail in comparison with the U20-ASF-BT2, which can withstand extreme environmental conditions, heavy use, as well as external shock, scratches and impact. This makes it an ideal solution for a diverse range of applications, especially those used in outdoor, rugged, and high-traffic environments. Its compact size makes it smaller than most other optical fingerprint devices so that it can be more easily integrated into a wider range of applications.

Typical Applications

 

The U20-ASF-BT2 was designed to satisfy today’s growing need for security applications that require standalone, embedded fingerprint systems such as:

 

  • Physical access control systems
  • Door-lock systems (indoor/outdoor)
  • Time & attendance systems
  • Cabinet safes and vaults (gun safes, safe deposit boxes)
  • Vehicle access control
  • Automatic teller machines (ATM)
  • Point-of-sale machines (POS), kiosks
  • Verification of credit cards/smart cards
  • Secure network systems
  • Laptop and tablet integration
  • Handheld and mobile devices
