Frost & Sullivan Praises Deployment of CredenceTAB™, a Biometric Tool Combining Document Reading, Biometric Enrollment and Verification on a Portable Device

Credence ID's unique product suite offers convenience, portability, and customization to meet a wide range of ID projects

The solution was developed in accordance with the company's vision to offer enrollment and identification solutions to facilitate programs that provide benefits to underdeveloped and under-documented populations around the world. With its portability and connectivity via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and mobile networks, the CredenceTAB greatly supports the national ID programs of various governments.

The CredenceTAB and its related software development kit (SDK) create a plethora of application opportunities in both government and commercial applications. The fingerprint scanner uses a FAP-30 sensor that enables fingerprint capture in all lighting conditions. The sensor is based on a light emitting sensor (LES) technology, which captures the optical image of the fingerprint on a thin film transistor to generate a PIV-class fingerprint image. Additionally, Credence ID supports facial recognition and barcode reading by incorporating two high-resolution cameras into the CredenceTAB.

'The CredenceTAB offers extensive flexibility to its customers through its multifunctional, portable, battery-powered solution,' said Ram Ravi, industry analyst at Frost & Sullivan. “Credence ID has leveraged years of experience in the design, engineering and manufacturing of mobile identification devices to create this competitive product. In addition, as they are built on an open development platform, Credence ID products are configurable and help with the complete customization of the biometric device'.

Significantly, the leading biometric solutions from Credence ID, Trident®, CredenceONE ™, CredenceONE-MRZ ™ and CredenceTAB, offer ease of use and multimodal features that exceed the accuracy and speed of the latest consumer devices.

• The Trident is a tri-biometric platform that encompasses a dual iris scanner, an industry leading FAP 45 fingerprint sensor, and a high resolution camera for capturing facial images. The solution uses a long-lasting lithium-ion battery that extends duty cycles.
• CredenceONE's compact and robust mobile chipset enables multiple identity-based solutions using three sensors to scan smart cards, faces, and fingerprints.
• CredenceONE-MRZ and CredenceTAB have four sensors on board. In addition, these solutions have a fully integrated smart card reader system (contact and contactless), an MRZ scanner, a face recognition camera and an enterprise-class fingerprint sensor.

Credence ID's product design strategy has increased its success, particularly in government and civil identification programs, which in turn has facilitated the company's entry into Know Your Customer (KYC) business applications.

'Credence ID has established an impressive clientele of value-added partners and solution providers who develop, manage and support civil identification programs and applications,' said Ravi. “By using the Android operating system, Credence ID gives its partners the freedom to create a series of intuitive applications. Its talent for industrial design and innovation, backed by continuous product improvement and customer support, has established it as a trusted provider of mobile biometric solutions for government and civil identification applications.
