NEW YORK, Jan. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- LVCC, CENTRAL
HALL BOOTH 13518 -- EyeLock LLC, a leader of iris-based
identity authentication solutions and a wholly-owned subsidiary of
VOXX International Corporation (NASDAQ: VOXX), today announced that
it will showcase Access Control solutions suitable for both outdoor
and indoor use at the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show in
Las Vegas, NV. EyeLock will also
release its new embedded iris authentication solution "Harrington,"
which has been recently integrated directly into ViaTouch's
ground-breaking Auto-Retail Vending Solution enabled by Artificial
Intelligence. Both technologies will be on display within the VOXX
International booth #13518.
EyeLock's technology provides an unprecedented level of
convenience and security with unmatched biometric accuracy, making
it the most proven way to authenticate identity aside from DNA.
EyeLock's proprietary iris authentication technology looks at more
than 240 unique iris characteristics and provides a fast,
user-friendly authentication experience. This technology is easily
embeddable into other technologies and is suitable for use in many
market segments. While biometric modalities such as facial and
fingerprint recognition are satisfactory for low to medium security
applications, iris provides the highest level of security and
convenience. Notable use cases for iris identification include, but
are not limited to, enterprise, healthcare, financial services,
education, corrections, stadiums, border control, automotive,
government, and more.
EyeLock redefines the future of access control with the nanoNXT,
a sleek, low profile point of entry iris-based recognition system
with powerful capabilities. The nanoNXT authenticates up to 20
people per minute, in-motion and at-a-distance with unparalleled
security. This solution is an ideal replacement for card-based
systems and seamlessly controls access to secured entrances, server
rooms and any physical space. In addition to the growing sales of
the nanoNXT indoor access control system, Eyelock has recently
developed the nanoEXT, a first-of-its-kind outdoor device, which
can withstand extreme exterior elements and all lighting conditions
including sunlight, while still providing unmatched security and
convenience. This outdoor system is rated for operation in extreme
temperatures, severe weather, and all levels of light. The device
is also vandal-resistant and allows for accurate authentication at
a standoff distance of 16-30 inches with instant height-adjusting
capabilities to ensure ADA compliance.
"The addition of an outdoor unit to our platform speaks directly
to customer; desires to implement a single convenient solution for
managing outdoor and indoor access control as well as to those
looking to upgrade their exterior access points using unmatched
accuracy of iris biometrics," said Jeff
Carter, Chief Executive Officer, EyeLock.
Harrington, EyeLock's embedded iris authentication solution is a
self-contained, standalone iris enrollment and authentication
system that is offered as a complete reference design. This
solution is a superior combination of optical and algorithmic
elements that enable absolute security and unmatched ease-of-use.
Harrington includes off-the-shelf near-infrared illumination, a
commercially available image sensor, and proprietary imager lens.
This design is ideal for diverse markets and can be incorporated
into multiple hardware applications such as nurse's stations,
high-end business machines, cash machines and data rooms.
Harrington offers a rich variety of system interface topologies
available to the end-user with three different image sensor lensing
options that allow nominal working distances up to 60cm with imager
module thickness between 3.0mm and 5.7mm. Dual iris enrollment and
single- or dual- iris authentication is supported with software and
algorithms that are portable to the OS used in the OEM device.
Through a previously announced strategic partnership, EyeLock's
Harrington board has been integrated into Vicki™, ViaTouch's
ground-breaking Auto-Retail Vending solution enabled by artificial
intelligence that is designed to change the landscape of consumer
purchasing in the most secure manner possible. Vicki recognizes and
authenticates a consumer, gets to know their preferences and then
acts upon them, serving as a virtual clerk. As Harrington is
embedded into the machine, it will provide consumers with a
cashless transaction that's both easy and secure. Consumers and
businesses will have an easy-to-use and fast experience, and will
rest easy knowing their transactions are secure as the embedded
technology is integrated and operable with First Data online
payment networks.
Carter adds, "Many customers have found EyeLock's technology to
be an overarching security solution with a variety of applications
even within a single vertical. In the medical space, for example,
nanoEXT can secure exterior access to hospital employee entrances
while nanoNXT can secure access to pharmacies, labs and operating
rooms. When partnered with embedded iris biometric equipment,
Harrington controls access to mobile nurse's stations, medicine
cabinets, and other equipment used for patient and/or employee
identification, providing a fully integrated solution. Mobile
nurse's stations have typically utilized fingerprint and by moving
to iris, they achieve a higher level of security with a touchless
hygienic high-speed solution. Unlike other developing
biometrics, EyeLock authentication can be completed without the
requirement to remove eyewear, face masks and gloves."
