Why Palm Vein Beats Fingerprint in Real-World Identity Systems

by He Yu – Technical Dept. @ X-Telcom

Biometric technology is advancing rapidly—but not all biometric methods are equally reliable in the real world. Fingerprint recognition is common, but it often struggles in high-security, high-volume, or hygiene-sensitive scenarios.

At X-Telcom, we believe Palm Vein Recognition, powered by advanced Palm Vein Technology, is the smarter choice for enterprise-grade identity. It identifies users through unique subcutaneous vein patterns in the palm, captured using near-infrared light—making it far more secure and user-friendly than traditional fingerprints.

Palm Vein Recognition vs. Fingerprint Recognition: Key Differences

🧠 Why Palm Vein Technology Leads

1. Truly private
   Palm vein patterns are internal and leave no trace, unlike fingerprints. That makes them extremely difficult to replicate or misuse.

2. Better experience
   Touchless scans improve user comfort and reduce infection risks—ideal for hospitals, airports, and public kiosks.

3. Scales with confidence
   Our Palm Vein Recognition algorithm has been tested with over 5 million identities, achieving high-accuracy results in less than 0.35 seconds.
