FPC awarded its first FPC 1080A design win for pads by prominent Chinese design house

Fingerprint Cards has won its first design win (DW) for tablets for its FPC1080A
swipe sensor. The order is from one of China’s most prominent design houses.
The design house is providing its solution to multiple Chinese brands and
manufacturers and production ramp-up is expected in mid-2013. Porting of both
the hardware and the Android software is ongoing and the tablet is using the
popular platform All Winner A10. Due to the prevailing competitive situation,
the mobile phone design house wants to remain anonymous until further notice.

Johan Carlström, President and Chief Executive Officer of FPC, comments:

“China is a major and fast growing market for tablets. This porting on the
popular All Winner Android tablet platform, which is used by a large number of
Chinese tablet players, facilitates additional design wins on the same platform
in China. We opened our sales and support office in Greater China in September
2012 and are delighted to already announce this second design win in the
extremely important Chinese market. Due to our world-leading capacitive
fingerprint technology, image quality and power consumption, FPC is now
established as the leading alternative for fingerprint sensors in smart phones
and tablets. We expect a number of additional design wins in the booming China
market during the months ahead.”
