Datastrip DSVII®-PA Handheld Biometric Terminal Simplifies
On-the-Spot Verification of Passports and Travel Credentials
EXTON, Pa. (April 15, 2008) — The DSVII®-PA biometric passport reader from Datastrip Inc. provides passport authentication for border crossing, immigration and travel applications requiring on-the-spot verification of travel documents. The handheld device authenticates passports, visas, driver’s licenses and national ID cards by reading 2-D bar codes, OCR-B and contact/contactless chips on these ID credentials. The DSVII-PA supports an evolving list of ID document standards and applications, including Border Crossing, USVISIT and Common AccessCard.
The 2-pound DSVII-PA includes a 600-dpi scanner for full-page passport imaging and a 508-dpi capacitive fingerprint sensor for instant verification of biometric passports. Its large, color digital touch screen is readable in direct sunlight and low-light conditions. The DSVII-PA’s high-capacity, rechargeable lithium polymer battery provides more than 13 hours of run-time and is user replaceable. An adapter/charger is optional.
“Immigration enforcement is coming under increasingly close scrutiny, and the issues surrounding it are becoming more complex for port authorities and all levels of government,” said Joe Delaney, Datastrip’s vice president of sales and marketing. “Citizens want and deserve to feel secure about their country’s immigration enforcement. The DSVII-PA device helps authorities achieve this goal with speedy and accurate credential processing at borders, ports, airports and other immigration centers.”
The DSVII-PA can be expanded, including memory expansion and global communications capacities, using a number of third-party options connected by USB, CF, serial, WiFi and Bluetooth®.
