Fingerprints Cards has announced that the company’s new biometric solution for the PC market is integrated in the power button of the Latitude 5000 and 7000 Series of laptops from Dell.

To date, Fingerprints has been awarded design wins with three of the world’s top five PC manufacturers. “Consequently, we expect to be able to announce further PC models in the near future that feature Fingerprints’ new biometric PC solution,” it states.

According to Ted Hansson, senior VP Business Line Mobile at Fingerprints: “This product launch by Dell confirms the positive trend in demand for biometric authentication in consumer and enterprise PCs. Fingerprints is poised for continued growth in this segment, providing the perfect way to add convenient and secure authentication to PCs.”

BIOMETRICS AND SECURITY REQUIREMENTS MET
Fingerprints’ new solution for PCs interfaces with Windows Hello and is compliant with Microsoft Enhanced Sign-in (SecureBio), meeting both the biometrics and security requirements of Microsoft, it adds. It can be used in combination with a broad range of Fingerprints’ touch sensors and its software is compatible with the Windows 10 operating system. The solution is tailored for use across a growing number of form factors and use cases, including notebooks, 2-in-1 convertibles and PC accessories. Fingerprints’ portfolio of compatible touch sensors is available in various shapes, coatings and customisable colours to support different designs and placements.
