Access has
introduced a range of biometric keyboards for added security to
networks and apps.
The family of AKC programmable keyboards come with integral
DigitalPersona "U.are.U" fingerprint readers.
Access says these readers recognise even the most difficult
fingerprints accurately and rapidly, regardless of placement
angle.
There are 84 standard keyboards in the product family, with
between 42 and 127 keys. All except the 80-key version are
available with optional magnetic stripe readers (MSRs), and
touchpads are an option on many models.
Users place their finger on a red illuminated window to activate
the fingerprint reader. On-board electronics encrypt the 512dpi
resolution scanned image before sending it through the USB
interface.
Built-in intelligence rejects ounterfeit and printed fingerprint
images.
