BIO-key Introduces SideTouch(TM) Compact USB Fingerprint Reader With IDEX Eagle Sensor for Windows Devices at Mobile World Congress 2016 - Seite 2

After taking just a few moments to enroll, customers can use SideTouch to identify on any Windows or supported Android device with an OTG USB port.

"There is a growing demand for cost-effective biometric technology, driven by customers that want greater security, but want to improve the user experience and convenience," stated Mike DePasquale, BIO-key Chairman & CEO. "Thanks to the overwhelming success of Apple's Touch ID on the iPhone, and the inclusion of finger scanners in a variety of smartphones and tablets from various manufacturers, fingerprint is unquestionably the dominant method of biometric authentication. Numerous media articles have pointed out that most users won't be able to use Windows Hello, because they lack the scanners to do so. BIO-key is meeting this market need with another great, affordable device incorporating new and innovative technology from IDEX," DePasquale added.
