Precise Biometrics receives 6,1 Million USD order to deliver fingerprint readers and software to US Government



Precise Biometrics has been awarded an order worth more than 6,1
million US dollar to supply fingerprint readers and software to the
US Government, as a step in continued deployment of Precise
Match-on-Card(TM) in multiple agencies. Delivery will start
immediately and the order will be delivered and invoiced before end
of 2009.

The solution delivered by Precise Biometrics is related to US
Government security and cyber defense programs to prevent hostile
infiltration of government systems within critical infrastructure.

Thomas Marschall, CEO at Precise Biometrics, sees the continued
expansion of Precise Match-on-Card(TM) as the ultimate acceptance of
the technology within the US Government, and comments on the order:

-        With an order of this magnitude, we are reaching an
important milestone in the industry. We are confident that our track
record of successfully combining cost-efficient and advanced
biometric technology with a positive user-experience is now leading
to significant volume orders such as this one. Government customers
are demanding higher security and we are most honored to once more be
a trusted supplier. This solution addresses important areas such as
cyber defense; in addition it generates significant cost-savings.
Therefore, I see great opportunities for extension into further
similar programs.

System breaches from attackers are prevented by requiring localized
and user-dependent security, which is introduced by biometric
Match-on-Card authentication. Precise Match-on-Card(TM) provides
strong authentication and proof of identity, which secures networks
and computers by linking a user to an access protocol. This is
achieved as the technology enables storing and matching of
fingerprint information on a smart card in order to establish the
presence of an individual. As the fingerprint information does not
leave the card, there is no need for a database and the cardholder's
integrity is preserved. The Match-on-Card technology is integrated
with the Government Employee ID badges.

Precise Biometrics has more than 20 million deployed card licenses
and close to 100 million contracted licenses for its Match-on-Card
technology today. The company has for several years successfully
supplied its products to US government customers such as the
Department of State, NASA and FAA (Federal Aviation Administration).
