AuthenTec Introduces World's Smallest Touch-and-Go Fingerprint Sensor at Computex Taipei 2002; New EntrePad AES3500 Enables Personal Security for Portable Consumer Devices.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers MELBOURNE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 31, 2002 Lowest Power Requirements of Any Fingerprint Sensor Available AuthenTec, the leader in advanced biometric semiconductor technology, today introduced to the Asian market the EntrePad(TM) AES3500, a fingerprint sensor specially designed to enhance personal security in the mobile PC, wireless and PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) A handheld computer for managing contacts, appointments and tasks. It typically includes a name and address database, calendar, to-do list and note taker, which are the functions in a personal information manager (see PIM). markets. With a sensor array A sensor array is a set of several sensors that an information gathering device uses to gather information (usually directional in nature) that cannot be gathered from a single source for a central processing unit. only 6.5mm x 6.5mm square, the EntrePad AES3500 is by far the smallest touch-and-go biometric device biometric device - biometrics available today. Its small size and low power operation meets the requirements for small battery operated consumer devices. Now laptops, cell phones, PDAs, handheld devices and other mobile electronics can have the advantage of superior security and convenience. "The size and technical sophistication so·phis·ti·cate v. so·phis·ti·cat·ed, so·phis·ti·cat·ing, so·phis·ti·cates v.tr. 1. To cause to become less natural, especially to make less naive and more worldly. 2. of the newest EntrePad sensor sets the standard for fingerprint biometrics, and will drive adoption of biometric security for everyday products," stated Scott Moody, President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of AuthenTec. "The AES3500 is truly a revolutionary product, combining convenience, security, reliability and low cost all in one very small package." The EntrePad AES3500 is based on AuthenTec's patented subsurface TruePrint(TM) technology, which allows fingerprints to be read below the surface of the skin, thereby eliminating any acquisition or recognition failures relating to relating to relate prep → concernant relating to relate prep → bezüglich +gen, mit Bezug auf +acc contamination such as dirt, grime, dry skin or excessive moisture -- issues that are problematic with surface imaging fingerprint sensors. The AES3500's Select-a-bus architecture allows for easy, glueless integration into new designs. The on-chip interfaces include USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. , 8 bit parallel, serial, and both synchronous and asynchronous Refers to events that are not synchronized, or coordinated, in time.

AuthenTec will demonstrate the EntrePad AES3500 at Computex Taipei 2002, June 3-7 in Taiwan at booth number 727 in the U.S.A. pavilion. AuthenTec will also showcase several customer products that have integrated TruePrint technology from companies such as Synaptics, ASUSTek, Acer, Targus and SCM (1) (Software Configuration Management, Source Code Management) See configuration management. (2) See supply chain management. Microsystems. Production quantities of the AES3500 are available now. In addition AuthenTec provides a complete range of evaluation kits and reference designs to help integrate its TruePrint technology into customer designs. The price is under $10.00 for 500,000 unit orders. All inquiries should be directed to WinTek at 886-2-2712-5025. About AuthenTec AuthenTec is a leading semiconductor company providing advanced biometric fingerprint sensors to the PC, wireless, PDA, access control and automotive markets. AuthenTec's FingerLoc and EntrePad product families utilize the Company's patented TruePrint(TM) technology, the first technology capable of imaging everyone under virtually any condition. TruePrint images below the surface layer of the skin to the live layer where the true print resides, thereby eliminating surface-level contamination issues. AuthenTec's products are the choice of leading industry hardware and software providers, ensuring compatibility across multiple platforms and applications. Based in Melbourne, Florida, AuthenTec has assembled a global network of partners, solution providers and customers including Texas Instruments, Delphi Automotive, IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) , Acer, Synaptics, Asus, Harris Corporation and SCM Microsystems.
