SmartMetric Announces World's First Credit Card Sized Fingerprint Activated Contactless Doorway Access Control Card
| Source: SmartMetric, Inc.
SURFSIDE, FL--(Marketwire - December 31, 2007) - SmartMetric (PINKSHEETS : SMME ) today announced
that it has successfully incorporated doorway wireless frequencies into its
credit card sized portable biometric fingerprint reader card.
Using the SmartMetric Biometric card with its built in fingerprint scanner
Corporations can now secure entry to doorways, offices and even computer
systems with the all in one Biometric card. It also allows Companies to
integrate biometrics into existing contactless doorway entry systems.
Rather than using the old contactless doorway entry cards security
conscious companies can now issue employees with a SmartMetric Biometric
activated card that will only work after the user touches the surface of
the card and the card then scans and matches inside the card with the users
pre-stored fingerprint.
Mr. Hendrick, the company President, said this is a huge leap forward in
corporate security. The old contactless doorway access cards are
inherently insecure in that if a person loses his or her card any other
person could easily use the lost card for gaining access. The SmartMetric
Biometric card only works after the owner of the issued card is verified by
the cards "in-card" fingerprint scanner. Only after a match with the
persons fingerprint will the card then activate and send a radio signal to
the door locking system. The other great thing about the SmartMetric
technology he said is that it can work with existing contactless doorway
entry systems so its implementation and adoption by Corporations will be
easy and affordable.
The company is in discussions with two of the world leading distributors of
contactless security card entry systems and plans to appoint one of the
Global leaders in corporate security solutions as its Global Distributor
for the Corporate market shortly. SmartMetric is also working on
implementing MiFare into its card and will be releasing a MiFare compatible
biometric activated card within the first quarter of 2008.
SmartMetric and its Biometric Access Card brings a new level of security to
the corporate world. From biometrically identifying a person as they enter
the lobby of a building to controlling access to the elevator and office
door, the card then can be used to control the logging on to the corporate
computer. All with a card no bigger than a credit card.
SmartMetric is preparing for mass production of its card. The company
expects it will be shortly in full production with a capacity of a million
cards a month. Given the interest already shown in the company's product
SmartMetric plans on increasing manufacturing output by the second quarter
of 2008 to more than 2 million cards a month.
