FINGERPRINT RECOGNITION BY PRECISE BIOMETRICS ON OKI ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT - COST-EFFICIENCY AN EVIDENT ADVANTAGE



A license agreement signed in July 2006 between Precise Biometrics
AB and the Japanese electronics group Oki Electric Industry Co. Ltd
has resulted in the development of an electronic circuit with an
embedded biometric solution (ML67Q5250). The circuit was introduced
by OKI on the world market in November, and there are great
expectations that the solution will open up for completely new
applications for fingerprint recognition. In terms of volume, OKI has
planned for a production of about 200,000 circuits a month as of
April 2008.

The unique feature of the circuit is that it integrates Precise
Biometrics' core technology for identification, which means
significant advantages for companies developing end products and
solutions, such as payment terminals, door locks, satellite boxes,
and PC peripherals such as keyboard. This means accessto an
inexpensive one-chip solution for fingerprint recognition, which can
be adapted to different applications. These companies thereby avoid
expensive and time-consuming development work and can reach out to
the market more quickly with new product generations where personal
identification via fingerprint technology is becoming an important
sales argument.

Oki Electric Industry Co. Ltd, with some 21,000 employees and annual
sales of close to SEK 60 billion, is one of Japan's largest
companies. The new electronic circuit has been developed in the
subsidiary Silicon Solutions Company, whose president, Masahiko
Morioka, also is very positive towards the market potential."The fact that we have succeeded in developing a circuit with a long
series of advantages, also being very attractive in terms of costs,
means that we have very great expectations for the future. The
cooperation with Precise Biometrics also means that we can offer a
complete solution which integrates the market's leading biometric
technology for fingerprint identification, and I believe this will be
of great importance when it comes to speeding up the development of
new product generations in, for example, the consumer sector",
concludes Masahiko Morioka.

Precise Biometrics' CEO, Thomas Marshall, is impressed by the
advantages of the electronic circuit."It's fantastic that they have succeeded in integrating not only our
core technology in to this small circuit, but also create a long
series of advantages for end users.
