New Wall-Mounted Fingerprint and Smart Card Reader for Physical Access Control Quebec City, Canada – February 6th, 2003- Labcal Technologies Inc., a company delivering authentication solutions based on Fingerprint, Public Key Cryptography and Smart Card Technologies, now extends its offering, by launching a new device in the SmartPrint range of products, the SmartPrint Mountie (SAC-2500). To grant access, the reader senses your fingerprint and compares the reading to a secure biometric reference template stored on a smart card. In several of the articles in this month’s issue, you will find references to the concept of multiapplication cards. Some fare collection projects, access control projects, and payment card projects that utilize contactless technology are experimenting–or even implementing–more than one application on a single card. Pharmaceuticals giant Pfizer employs more than 8,000 people at its manufacturing facility in Sandwich, Kent, England. When the company investigated access control alternatives to better secure facilities and protect staff, they looked to contactless technology to provide the solution. American Express employees are using a contactless card storing a biometric template to gain access to their office facilities at the Amex World Headquarters in New York. The fingerprint template software and access readers are developed by Bioscrypt. Though this was not confirmed by the companies involved, sources indicate that the card contains a 1k Mifare chip from Philips.
