Motorola Offers Mobile Biometric
Identification for EDAs
Motorola has announced a biometric attachment for its MC70 and MC75
enterprise digital assistants (EDAs). The mobile solution provides
government, law enforcement and enterprise security agencies with advanced
biometric identification and verification tools as well as real-time
mobile data access delivered in a single, rugged mobile computing
platform.
Applications: The solution enables law enforcement officers to stay on
patrol while identifying individuals with outstanding criminal issues or
warrants and also helps to enhance border control management as agents can
utilize the mobile solution to verify immigration status in remote areas.
Government and enterprise security agencies can leverage the solution to
help ensure proper access privileges for individuals and verify real-time
employment status.
Part of
Motorola's MOTOA4 portfolio, the MC70/75 EDAs with biometric attachment
feature a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) platform, offering agencies
enhanced solution flexibility with an ecosystem of peripherals and
accessories.
The
standards-based platform also enables flexibility in the delivery of
applications as the biometric attachment supports Motorola's Mobile AFIS
(Automated Fingerprint Identification System) solution as well as
applications developed by third parties.
Government and public safety agencies can utilize mobile identity
management capabilities along with other applications on the same handheld
computing terminal, helping to optimize department expenditures and
maximize return on investment.
According
to Motorola, the GSA (General Services Administration) FIPS (Federal
Information Processing Standards) 201 certified fingerprint sensor in the
biometric attachment is optimized for mobile environments, allowing agents
to capture one to 10 fingerprints in a variety of lighting and
environmental conditions.
Optional
contact and contact-less smart card readers can be used to verify the
identity of individuals against secure documents such as ePassports, ID
cards, visas or employee ID badges.
