InFocus launches Iris enabled 4G VoLTE smartphone

InFocus has launched Iris enabled 4G VoLTE smartphone for the Indian market.  

The company has recently been awarded certification from the government of India’s STQC (Standardization Testing & Quality Certification) lab for its Aadhaar-enabled Iris smartphone. 

The embedded algorithm can complete an image capture and K7 image generation in less than 2 seconds. Moreover, the biometric data from the InFocus device gets encrypted by a UIDAI key at the chip level in device, making it impossible for anyone but the Aadhaar server to see the information. Such encryption prevents information leakage of all kinds. 

Speaking at the launch, Sachin Thapar, country head, InFocus India said, “We see great potential in the integration of Iris recognition technology in a ubiquitous device like smartphone. This represents a huge leap in stimulating the government’s Digital India Initiative facilitating the biometric identification used across various institute and E-governance services, with just the use of a smartphone.

InFocus device will find its use as a secure and reliable biometric solution in various industries such as banking, E-PDS (Electronic Public Distribution System), MNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural employment Guarantee Act) payments, E-governance services such as passport, taxation, healthcare and education. The solution will also enable government, enterprises and telecom companies to streamline the process of an individual’s authentication and eKYC regardless of language and literacy barriers.

Moreover, InFocus smartphone is an easy-to-use one stop device as it embeds the advanced iris-recognition technology in a well-built phone, eliminating the use of any separate devices for biometric identification. 

InFocus Iris Enabled smartphone is a 4G-VoLTE enabled smartphone that is powered with 1 GB RAM to deliver performance beyond expectation. 

Ascertaining an exceptional experience, this 4.5” device supports dual sim and is endowed with a 2,300. The smartphone runs on Android 5.1 and comes powered with an 8 GB ROM, expandable up to 64 GB.
