Johan Carlström, President and CEO of Fingerprint Cards AB
It’s highly satisfying seeing our new swipe sensor going into volume production and knowing that we can now meet demand in the market by offering large-scale deliveries. I am very proud of our development team, which produced the world’s smallest and most power-efficient swipe sensor for mobile applications in such a short space of time. The sensor’s high image quality will in practice provide the user with a convenient and secure function, which will become increasingly important in protecting information and various forms of payments in mobile applications. The work in our customer projects is progressing according to plan and our objective is to secure several design wins in the coming year.
