Fingerprint fever continues on the wave of demand for biometric security in smartphones and tablets, and the company with the namesake is at the center of the news once again. Today, Fingerprint Cards AB (FPC) has announced that it has received its largest mass production order yet, this time from the company’s partner CrucialTec, of over 3.1 million swipe sensor units for immediate delivery, to be used in Asian smartphones and tablets.
Earlier this week, FPC announced its first smartphone launch: a Disney-themed mobile from Fujitsu that contains the same sensor technology being ordered here. According to Fingerprint Cards president and CEO Johan Carlström, CrucialTec will not only be targeting the Japanese market with the ordered biometric sensors, but also using them for the initial push as it expands into other Asian markets.
