Exton, Pennsylvania-based Datastrip has something to celebrate: It has received the 2006 Frost & Sullivan Product Innovation of the Year Award in the smart cards category for its DSVII handheld identity verification terminals, a family of portable smart card/biometric readers. The units are suitable for first responders, homeland security programs, law enforcement personnel, customs officials, corporate security personnel, and other applications requiring identity screening.
Frost & Sullivan cited Datastrip’s integration of multiple identification technologies in a single piece of hardware. Also noted was the company’s strategic alliances which allows for providing complete solutions for end users’ security needs. The Award citation specifically praised the DSVII’s integration of contactless, contact, 2D barcode, OCR-B and fingerprint reading capabilities in the same form factor to provide multiple modes of identity verification for increased security.
