Introduction
Product description
The Nomad™ 60 Wireless is a mobile, tenprint fingerprint capture device that has a thin and lightweight form factor
with integrated user guidance and image quality confirmation.
The Nomad 60 Wireless reader can capture flat prints and is ideal for mobile, fast, and reliable identity verification or
enrollment.
The Nomad 60 Wireless reader uses capacitive thin-film transistor (TFT) technology that is suitable for a variety of
environmental situations and can maintain a display that is visible to operators, even in direct sunlight.
