MaxID's iDLMax Handheld Biometric Device Successfully Completes TWIC Evaluation
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - MaxID, a global manufacturer of biometric handheld equipment, today
announced that the company's iDLMax handheld biometric device has
successfully completed the Transportation Security Administration's
(TSA) Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) Initial
Capability Evaluation (ICE) assessment.
The TWIC incorporates tamper-resistant biometric data and is a vital
security measure that ensures individuals who pose a threat do not gain
unescorted access to secure areas of the nation's maritime
transportation system.
"By attaining approved vendor status on the ICE list, U.S. ports and
vessel operators now have access to MaxID's superior handheld computing
technology," said Stephen Grist, CEO of MaxID. "The ergonomic iDLMax
will help maritime facilities and vessels manage TWICs in a secure and
operationally efficient manner."
The iDLMax is a multi-modal, rugged mobile computer that offers a
complete set of features for virtually any identity management challenge
-- including QWERTY keyboard, contact card, contactless card, barcode,
optical fingerprint, and optional magnetic swipe and MRZ readers with a
digital camera, GPS, and comprehensive wireless communications. The
iDLMax is a complete, integrated mobile solution for all badging and
identity management requirements and provides functionality well beyond
the scope of the ICE testing. When users need to read TWIC, Seafarers'
ID, CAC, PIV, FRAC cards, or driver's licenses, as well as use the other
on-board biometric functions to verify identity, the iDLMax does it all
in a light, compact, easy-to-use form factor.
