Easy Integration

‍“We are pleased to introduce the IC7200 featuring ARATEK capacitive A400-M fingerprint sensor,” said Mark Chun, senior sales manager for BITEL.

The new model IC7200 is designed to be implemented for mobile payment, retail and social welfare distribution in various countries. Chun cited ARATEK’s track record for quality and customer support as main drivers for their choice of partner.

FBI and STQC Certified Sensor

‍Mark Chun also emphasised that ARATEK’s certification from the FBI and its STQC certification give BITEL a great deal of confidence in aggressively pushing its product to markets such as India, Middle East, South East Asia and many other regions.

The FBI certification recognises ARATEK’s compliance with the agency’s Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Image Quality Specifications Standard, a credential much prized in the competitive biometrics industry.

The STQC, on the other hand, is India’s quality assurance and conformity assessment body. BITEL envisions a long-term strategic partnership with ARATEK, with Chun saying that is company “looks forward to expanding the business with ARATEK for the years to come.”
