FPC signs DA with leading ODM and the swipe sensor is integrated into their
platform for smartphones and pads

Fingerprint Cards (FPC) new swipe sensor, the FPC1080A, is currently being
integrated into the mobile platform of an Asian Tier 2 mobile manufacturer that
also is a leading ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) of smartphones and pads.
The company, which wishes to remain anonymous for competitive reasons, has also
appointed FPC as its main supplier of sensors and a DA (Development Agreement)
between the companies has been signed.

The integration of a fingerprint sensor into mobile phone and pads creates a
product through which convenience is optimally combined with high security.
Potential applications include secure mobile payments, the protection of
personal information, PIN-code substitution, increased flexibility for screen
locks and other application areas in which the user’s identity has to be
ascertained.
Comments from Johan Carlström, CEO of FPC: "We are proud and pleased to announce
that we have signed a Development Agreement with a leading ODM of mobile phones
and pads. Our world-leading swipe sensor FPC 1080A is currently being integrated
into this ODM’s platform for smartphones and pads. The agreement covers future
deliveries of fingerprint systems, including both hardware and software. “

The FPC1080A, the world’s smallest and most power-efficient fingerprint sensor
developed for mobile applications, uses FPC’s patented scanning technology and
delivers world-leading 3D image quality, with 508 dpi resolution. In addition to
the intelligent image management, the sensor features integrated hardware
support for navigation, thus enabling the sensor to be used for the control of
user interfaces. These elements make the robust FPC1080A the optimum choice for
smartphones and other types of mobile high-volume products such as pads, remote
controls and USB keys.
