Neurotechnology’s MegaMatcher Accelerator 2.0 now available

Vilnius, Lithuania-based Neurotechnology, a provider of biometric identification technologies, has released MegaMatcher Accelerator 2.0, which the company calls a packaged hardware and software solution for high-volume, high-speed fingerprint identification.

Version 2.0’s fingerprint matching engine is capable of up to 40 million fingerprints per second, according to Neurotechnology, four times the speed of the current version.

While Version 2.0‘s extended version has the capability of matching 40 million fingerprints per second, the standard version will match up to 20 million fingerprints per second, running on a simple PC, providing a less-expensive solution for smaller biometric applications, the company says.

"Our new MegaMatcher Accelerator 2.0, with its four-fold increase in matching speed, is now one of the fastest fingerprint matching engines available anywhere," Algimantas Malickas, CEO of Neurotechnology, said in a statement. "We are seeing greater demand for large, national-scale identification systems and duplicate searches, and these new MegaMatcher Accelerator versions allow customers to implement fast, high-reliability systems at a lower cost."
