SecuGen Unity 20 Bluetooth – Wireless Biometric Fingerprint Reader
The SecuGen Unity 20 Bluetooth (HU20-ASF-BT) is the world’s first fully programmable, wireless Bluetooth optical fingerprint reader engineered for mobile identification, enrollment, and verification. Moving past tethered USB connections, it pairs seamlessly via Bluetooth 4.0/4.2 with Android, iOS, Windows, and Linux mobile or desktop hardware without requiring messy OTG adapters or cables.
Built around a high-speed CPU and SecuGen’s hardened U20 optical sensor, it features a unique dual-direction finger guide allowing an operator to scan their own finger or comfortably scan another user’s fingerprint without spinning the device around. Certified to rigorous government standards including FBI PIV, FIPS 201, and Mobile ID FAP 20, it supports rapid on-device template matching for up to 700 users (1,400 templates) and includes Smart Capture technology to read difficult (dry, wet, or scarred) skin under harsh lighting.
