SANTA ANA, Calif. and ISMANING, Germany, December 1, 2011 (euro adhoc) -
Identive Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE, Frankfurt: INV), a provider of products,
services and solutions for the identification, security and RFID industries,
today announced its first offering in a new family of USB 3.0 Super Speed media
reader/writers, the Z Class Secure Digital Reader/Writer. The new media reader
for Secure Digital (SD) transfers high definition multimedia content including
video, photos and music files up to ten times faster than regular high speed
readers.
With this first Super Speed addition to its high performance line of digital
media readers, Identive now can support the latest media specifications from the
SD Association, including SDXC (Secure Digital eXtended Capacity) and SDHC
(Secure Digital High Capacity), as well as the popular SD media from leading
vendors, with high transfer speeds at their maximum performance levels. The
SDXC specification offers significantly larger storage capacities than previous
formats, up to 2 terabytes (TB). Additionally, large volumes of data can be
transferred at accelerated speeds up 104 MB/sec for UHS-I media types (Ultra
High Speed Type I).
"SD media cards are ubiquitous in consumer electronic devices, and have become
the dominant means of storing several gigabytes of data in a small size. The
increased capacity and higher transfer speeds made possible by the SDXC format
allow consumers to expand their digital portfolios and playlists to an extent
never before possible," said Dr. Manfred Mueller, Executive VP of Identive and
Managing Director of Identive´s ID Infrastructure division. "Our Z-class SD
reader is the perfect platform for accessing all the advantages that the SDXC
specification offers, offering optimum performance and a support team to ensure
customers always stay ahead."
Future versions of the Z Class reader will offer built-in support for near field
communication (NFC), ready to read and write to NFC-enabled SD cards as they
become available and to facilitate new SD usage models such as cashless payments
and paperless identification. Additionally, Identive is currently porting its
secure APIs to the new device that leverage SD´s native security and DRM
(Digital Rights Management) capabilities, allowing the format to be used as a
truly secure storage medium.
