Fingerprint Cards AB announced that the company has received a purchase order from a top-tier global Windows PC manufacturer. This initial order is for several hundred thousand sensors and confirms the positive trend in demand for biometric authentication in consumer and enterprise PCs. The pandemic has led to a strong increase in remote working, which can often involve increased IT security risks. By combining security, flexibility and convenience, biometrics facilitate secure, flexible and convenient access to devices and data, regardless of the user’s location. Fingerprints launched a new biometric solution for the PC market in August 2020. The software solution is compatible with the Windows 10 operating system and can be used in combination with a broad range of Fingerprints’ touch sensors. It interfaces with Windows Hello and is compliant with Microsoft Enhanced Sign-in (SecureBio), meeting both the biometrics and security requirements of Microsoft. Fingerprints’ new solution is tailored for use across a growing number of different form factors and use cases, including notebooks, 2-in-1 convertibles, and PC accessories. In October 2020, Fingerprints announced that the company had been awarded a design win by a top-tier global PC manufacturer. Fingerprints expects to see strong growth in this segment in the coming years.
