AuthenTec, Inc., the leading semiconductor provider of fingerprint sensors to the global market, today announced the availability of its TruePrint technology on the new Motion Computing M1400 Tablet PC, which features a built-in fingerprint sensor, the AES2501, from AuthenTec. Optimized for the everyday computing needs of mobile professionals, the biometric feature enhances security and convenience by eliminating the need for multiple passwords and PINs, and instead, requires only a single swipe of a finger.

To ensure an accurate and reliable access to networks, applications, and Web sites, AuthenTec's patented TruePrint technology operates by reading a registered user's fingerprint where it originates below the surface of the skin. TruePrint provides the clearest, most accurate fingerprint images in the industry. The M1400 Tablet PC, based on Intel Centrino(TM) mobile technology, is Motion's new flagship product and is packed robust features that work together to create a sophisticated yet convenient user experience. Now available, the tablet PC is priced from $1,999.

"AuthenTec is the first company to bring affordable fingerprint biometric technology to the consumer," said Steve Mansfield, vice president of marketing at AuthenTec. "Continued demand for feature and capability-rich PCs like Motion Computing's M1400 Tablet PC has manufacturers seeking user-friendly ways in which to better protect these devices. AuthenTec provides the answer with the market's top-selling and lowest-cost fingerprint authentication solution."

"AuthenTec's fingerprint sensor gives M1400 users a convenient, secure way to manage access to sensitive data and the tablet PC hardware itself through global password management and data encryption," said Elizabeth Clark, director of product management at Motion Computing. "AuthenTec's technology makes the M1400 a valuable tool for all mobile users in healthcare, education, government, and field service and sales who need a reliable way to log on or protect key documents and network resources."

Award-Winning TruePrint(R) Technology

The global market's leading fingerprint sensor technology, TruePrint overcomes common skin surface conditions including dry, worn, calloused, dirty or oily skin that can affect other sensors' ability to acquire accurate fingerprint images for user authentication purposes.

Recent recognition of AuthenTec's fingerprint sensors and patented technology has included numerous prestigious awards, such as: the 2004 Fast Company Disrupter Award; the 2003 Innovative Housing Technology Award; the 2003 BiometriTech Best of Show Product Award; the 2003 Florida Governor's New Product Award; the Wireless Systems Design 2002 Reader's Choice Award; and the SC Magazine Best of 2002 Award.
