M2SYS releases multi-modal solution

Tuesday, July 20, 2010

M2SYS Technology has released a multi-modal biometric software solution called the Hybrid Biometric Platform. The Hybrid Biometric Platform is a client/server system that supports the use of fingerprints, finger veins, palm veins and iris recognition as a form of biometric authentication with the system designed so that customers are not locked into one biometric mode should they decide to change or add new modes in the future.


To assist their customers interested in implementing the Hybrid Biometric Platform, M2SYS is also offering their Bio-Plugin software development kit (SDK) to allow for a cheap and simple integration into their IT systems. Additionally, through utilizing the Bio-Plugin SDK, customers are able to have the Hybrid Biometric Platform operate as a server for one mode of biometrics serving one purpose while also being able to utilize other modes for other purposes elsewhere within the facility. [end]
