BEDFORD, Mass., April 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Aware, Inc. (NASDAQ: AWRE), a leading global provider of biometrics software products, solutions and services, today announced that its CaptureSuite™ solution has been chosen by an important European government for deployment at its borders. 

By incorporating Aware's CaptureSuite fingerprint capture software into its traveler processing systems  the border agency is able to rapidly capture fingers of people crossing the borders of the country in a way that ensures rapid capture to help minimize queue buildup but also to ensure optimal quality of the captured fingerprints.

CaptureSuite is a set of three Aware fingerprint SDKs that apply a variety of fingerprint biometric algorithms to enable rapid, high quality, fingerprint capture and quality assurance that is independent of the capture device used.  The deployment of CaptureSuite at the country's borders follows the recent, but unrelated, deployment of the same CaptureSuite solution by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency at U.S. land border crossings.

"Aware has been a trusted biometric vendor to important European countries for many years," said Bob Eckel,  Aware's CEO & President.  "We are proud to continue our mission to assist our government partners   to protect their sovereign borders with a modern, optimized, fingerprint capture system."

More information about CaptureSuite (LiveScan API, SequenceCheck, and WSQ1000) is available on the Aware's product webpage.  Aware will be exhibiting at the Biometric Institute Conference October 19-23 in London.
