Fingerprints is poised for continued growth in this segment, providing the perfect way to add convenient and secure authentication to PCs,” comments Ted Hansson, Senior VP Business Line Mobile at Fingerprints.

Going forward, new PC models and peripherals launched with Fingerprints’ biometric solution will be publicized in the same manner as mobile device models, i.e. via a tweet from the company’s Twitter account and by updating a ticker on Fingerprints’ website. However, in some specific cases, a PC launch might be communicated via a press release, e.g. when a product is launched by a new customer.
