As communicated in a NEXT news release on 1 August 2025, for NEXT’s Oyster III solution, NEXT has now received an additional order with a modest value. The order is targeted to be delivered in Q2 2026.
The global IAM market is currently valued at USD 22.9 billion and is projected to grow to USD 65.5 billion by 2034 [1].
“This order shows growing demand for IAM solutions and faith in our solutions as the partner will receive a white labelled Oyster III product from NEXT and it will market the hardware with its own brand.” comments Digvijay Singh Kanwar, Senior Vice President, Head of Sales IUEA (India, US, EU and Africa) at NEXT Biometrics.
The Oyster III solution enhances security and streamlines workflows by replacing slower, less secure sign-in methods. It is built to support the latest software and ensures compatibility with the new and existing hardware via the Windows Biometric Framework (WBF).
NEXT’s Active Thermal® technology uses both heat from the finger and 3D imaging to authenticate the user. This enables superior liveness detection to combat spoofing attacks, when compared with other fingerprint authentication technologies. The user experience is optimized by minimizing false acceptance and false rejection rates, while incorporating LED support to prompt the user on finger placement and can completion.
Over the last 25 years, NEXT Biometrics has shipped more than 10 million sensors. Its Active Thermal technologies are certified by entities including Aadhaar, FBI-PIV, MOSIP Compliance and NIBSS, and have been implemented in countries including Bangladesh, China, Ghana, India, Malaysia, Pakistan, U.S. and Vietnam.
