(BSNS WIRE) Applied Biometrics Unveils the World's Only Low-Cost, Portab Applied Biometrics Unveils the World's Only Low-Cost, Portable Fingerprint Identification Business/Technology Editors BURLINGTON, Vt.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 11, 1999--Applied Biometrics Products, Inc. announced today that they have revolutionized the biometrics market with their new Kryptic Pilot(tm) fingerprint identification product. Kryptic Pilot(tm), with its amazingly low power consumption, makes it capable of addressing the portable security needs of the E-Business, Access Control, Security, Personal Communications and Financial markets. Kryptic Pilot(tm) attaches to 3Com's PalmPilot(tm) (models III and VII) and, for the first time, enables portable, wireless, fingerprint-secure applications. Applied Biometrics' Kryptic Pilot(tm) has broken the price barrier, while maintaining high performance and small size (3.25 x 3.0 x 0.9 inches). Sure, other companies have been claiming "low cost" pricing, but the market is still waiting to see what they really deliver. And waiting, and waiting... Well, with Applied Biometrics' Kryptic Pilot(tm), the wait is over! Kryptic Pilot(tm) is not just a fingerprint sensor, as you might think from its small size and low cost. And, no expensive computer is required. Applied Biometrics has stuffed ALL the electronics for fingerprint capture, database storage and identification inside their patent-pending Kryptic Pilot(tm). It is even capable of battery operation. Kryptic Pilot(tm) is the world's only fingerprint identification product that can make that claim! With quantity pricing as low as $69, Applied Biometrics' very affordable Kryptic Pilot(tm) has broken the cost barrier that has been plaguing the biometrics market. Only Applied Biometrics can provide all of this technology, plus convenience, ease of use and a high level of non-transferable security, in a portable product; and at a price that's really affordable. Kryptic Pilot(tm) is the first in a family of fingerprint identification modules that are PC, Palm(tm), Win CE and Data Bus compatible. Don't let Compaq's Fingerprint Identification unit, Digital Persona's U.are.U or similar products fool you! Their fingerprint identification products can't provide you with a low-cost or battery operation. Why? Because to use them, you'll require a Pentium computer. Others, such as Biometric Identification Inc.'s model#MV1100 or Mytec's Touchstone Pro, use power-hungry, relatively expensive digital signal processing (DSP) chips. We hope you have stock in a battery company if you're planning to try operating these on batteries for portable applications! Applied Biometrics' Kryptic Pilot(tm) does not need a personal computer. Their patent-pending technology, with typical use, allows you to go one half year (6 months) without having to change the batteries. Kryptic products will remember all enrolled fingerprints, even when the batteries have been removed, for a century --- 100 years!
