AuthenTec adds security to first fingerprint-enabled Windows mobile phone

Thursday, April 3, 2008

AuthenTec’s fingerprint sensor has been integrated in the first fingerprint-enabled Windows Mobile phone produced by Fujitsu. The new FOMATM F1100 phone integrates an AuthenTec fingerprint sensor to protect sensitive phone data as well as mobile commerce (m-commerce) transactions.

The FOMA F1100 uses AuthenTec’s fourth generation fingerprint sensor for the wireless market, the AES1710. The AES1710 is based on the company’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]
