Identix Wins Kane County Live Scan Contract Under Illinois Criminal History Integration Project
Mar-21-05
Contract Can Be Used by All Ill. Arresting Agencies to Order Identix Enhanced Definition Live Scan Systems; Identix Continues to See Strong Domestic and International Order Flow Across All Market Segments
MINNETONKA, Minn. -Identix Incorporated (Nasdaq:IDNX), the world's leading multi-biometric technology company, announced today that it has been awarded a contract by Kane County in Illinois for the supply of multiple Identix(R) TouchPrint(TM) Enhanced Definition 3000 Series live scan systems. The award to Identix was made as part of the Illinois Statewide Criminal History Integration Project, which is designed to upgrade law enforcement technology throughout the State to assist arresting agencies in providing as much information as possible regarding suspect s into the Justice system. According to Deb Seyller, Kane County Circuit Court Clerk, the contract awarded to Identix under the Criminal History Integration Project, which has an initial term of one year, now provides a vehicle under which any of the more than 150 arresting agencies in Illinois may conveniently order live scan systems from Identix. Initial orders of Identix TouchPrint Enhanced Definition 3000 Series under the contract from Kane County, which is valued in excess of $200,000, are expected to ship and be installed during Identix fiscal 2005 third and fourth quarters ending March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, respectively.
"We are very pleased to have contracted with Identix under the Illinois Criminal History Integration Project," Seyller said. "This Project has greatly assisted Kane County in our ability to upgrade our live scan booking systems to the latest in technological advances to help ensure that we are rapidly transmitting the maxim amount of dat a into our State justice system databases. This contract also provides additional arresting agencies throughout Illinois with the opportunity to order from Identix; helping to ensure the Project's goal of promoting better information sharing across the State."
"Identix continues to see strong order flow across all of our market segments, both internationally and domestically," said Identix President & CEO Dr. Joseph J. Atick. "This award by Kane County and its potential implications for Identix to sell our Enhanced Definition live scan systems throughout Illinois is a further validation of our opinion that biometric adoption is taking place at an accelerated rate in states across the U.S. We have won several statewide contracts over the past few months and we believe we are well positioned to participate in that acceleration and further increase our installed base of live scan systems throughout the U.S. and internationally. We look forward to working with Kane Country and with as many of the other 150+ arresting agencies throughout the State as possible to help ensure that they have access to the latest advances in high quality image capture and submission in a very user friendly application."
Identix TouchPrint Enhanced Definition 3000 Series
The TouchPrint Enhanced Definition 3000 Series exceeds the FBI Appendix F standard by providing 3.5 times the pixel density and 300 percent more contrast, resulting in images that have far more fine ridge detail than dictated by the Appendix F requirements. The TouchPrint Enhanced Definition 3000 Series employs technologies that take into account subjects with different size fingers and skin colors, sweaty fingers and users rolling fingers at different speeds. The systems produce clear, crisp fingerprint images with virtually no distortion or false minutiae that can be caused by smudging and smearing. TouchPrint Enhanced Definition 3000 Se ries systems are designed to maintain consistent image quality over time, and with no moving parts in the optics deck and no silicon pads or coatings to change, they provide maximum reliability and minimal downtime, lowering the total overall cost of ownership.
The TouchPrint Enhanced Definition 3000 Live Scan Series is comprised of rugged and stylized terminals for roll and slap fingerprint capture that can be integrated with software for a complete fingerprinting system in either desktop or transportable configurations, as well as standalone booking stations designed to withstand heavy traffic and harsh environments.
