LUND, Sweden, Sept. 10, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Precise Biometrics AB (publ), developer and provider of world leading and user-friendly biometric security solutions based on fingerprints, is releasing a new fingerprint reader for protection of portable computers. With the launch of the new PC-Card reader, Precise 100 PC-Card, the company strengthens its product offering in the IT security market.The Precise 100 PC-Card, is primarily designed for laptop users, who require a secure and convenient solution for computer access, as the laptop often travels with the user from one place to another. The user simply puts his or her finger on the easily accessible popout sensor to confirm identity and thereby unlock the laptop. As a user, you no longer need to remember your password.
Precise 100 PC-Card offers increased security for laptops, which are generally more exposed to the risk of unauthorized access than desktops. The user-friendly design makes the product function as an integrated part of the laptop, while the use of realtime fingerprint image capturing makes the logon routine quick and reliable. Additionally, Precise 100 PC-Card only uses one PC-Card slot (a standard slot on virtually all laptops) and can remain inserted even when traveling.
Data Construction, one of Sweden's leading IT security distributors, has been looking forward to the launch of the Precise 100 PC-Card.
"We see a great demand among our customers for the type of product that Precise Biometrics can now offer. Secure and convenient access protection for laptops while traveling, simply by using a fingerprint, should be the ideal solution for every traveler," said Jeppe Gadd, product manager at Data Construction.
"Precise 100 PCCard is the perfect product for all laptop users who bring the computer to meetings, to their home office, on the plane etc. It is a convenient and secure logon solution that strengthens our product offering within the IT security area significantly," said Christer Bergman, CEO at Precise Biometrics.
Precise Biometrics will present the Precise 100 PC-Card at ASIS International security trade show in Philadelphia, PA, USA on September 10-12. Precise Biometrics exhibits in hall D, booth 3644. The product will also be presented by Precise Biometrics' distributor Data Construction at the IT trade show Networks Telecom in Stockholm, Sweden on September 24-26.
