HID Global, a provider of trusted identity solutions, announces its HID® Signo™ biometric reader 25B that is designed to capture and read fingerprints in real-world applications and conditions.

The reader is the latest addition to the company’s signature line of HID Signo readers and adds an API for integration with access control software solutions from HID partners. This enables a single point of biometric template enrollment through an access control system, these templates can then be pushed to all connected devices simultaneously.

Multispectral imaging technology

The new solution brings HID’s award-winning biometrics technology to the HID Signo Reader platform. It reliably reads fingerprints of all types, including those that are hard-to-read where people have wet, dry, dirty, or worn fingerprints.
