Hirsch Electronics says its Verification Station RUU has been placed on the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) Biometrics for Access Control Qualified Products List (QPL). The RUU reader includes Cogent Systems’ [COGT] fingerprint-based ID-Gate biometric subsystem, which was one of the first products on the QPL, a Hirsch scramble pad PIN reader, contact and contactless card readers, and LCD display. Hirsch says it is seeing interest from airports for biometric-based access control for employees.
