PARIS, France, November 6, 2012 - Identive Group, Inc.
(NASDAQ: INVE; Frankfurt: INV), a provider of products and
services for the identification, security and RFID
industries, today announced CLOUD, its next-generation
smart card reader platform that provides increased
performance and enhanced security for a wide variety of ID
credentials, from traditional contact-based smart cards to
near field communication (NFC)-enabled mobile devices.
Identive's new CLOUD readers will be on display in the
company's booth 4K 051 during the 2012 CARTES Exhibition &
Conference, taking place November 6 - 8 at the Paris-Nord
Villepinte exhibition centre.
Identive's new CLOUD platform includes a range of state of
the art readers for desktop, contactless, dual interface
and integrated applications. New NFC desktop and dual
interface readers allow organizations to extend their
traditional IT authentication environments beyond
traditional contact and contactless smart cards to support
NFC credentials in a range of form factors, from tags,
keyfobs and wristbands to smart phones. An optional secure
access module (SAM) on certain models provides secure
storage and processing of sensitive ID information to
enable robust authentication for logon and other access
applications.
"The popularity of mobile computing devices such as smart
phones and tablets is re-shaping the corporate IT
environment, as more people work from home and bring their
own devices to work, blurring the edges of what constitutes
a network. Additionally, employees want the same
convenience and flexibility in their workplace they
experience as consumers, where technologies such as NFC
speed everyday transactions like riding the subway or
paying at the register," said Dr. Manfred Mueller,
executive vice president and COO, Identification Products
for Identive. "Identive's new CLOUD readers provide
organizations with a simple, yet powerful way to bridge
their current smart card-based IT systems with emerging
contactless applications such as NFC. Support for a wide
variety of credential types, enhanced security and improved
transaction times make our new CLOUD readers ideal for
secure account logon, web and cloud-based transactions and
consumer applications such as payment, loyalty programs,
age verification, online shopping and more."
Identive currently is announcing the following versions of its CLOUD readers for OEM customers: CLOUD 4700 F Dual Interface Reader -
Supporting ISO 7816 contact cards, 13.56MHz
contactless technology and NFC, this PC-linked
desktop dual interface reader supports end-user
environments where both contact and contactless
chip-based credentials are in use. |
CLOUD 2700 F Contact Flash Reader - Supporting the
industry's latest generation of ISO17816 high-speed contact
smart cards, The CLOUD 2700 F optimizes card
