AuthenTec’s fingerprint sensor help have been added to the first fingerprint-enabled phone offered by ASUSTeK. The M536 smart phone supports multiple cellular standards for operation worldwide and incorporates a Melbourne, Florida-based AuthenTec fingerprint sensor to protect sensitive personal data, enable convenient access to internet portals, and serve as a user input device for on-screen navigation. ASUS’ QWERTY keyboard-equipped M536 uses AuthenTec’s AES1710 fingerprint sensor with Power of Touch®. The AES1710 is based on AuthenTec’s patented TruePrint technology, the only solution in volume production that reads below the surface of the skin to the live layer where a person’s true fingerprint resides. [end]
