PARIS, France, November 6, 2012 (euro adhoc) - 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

CLOUD 4710 F Contactless reader - Supporting 13.56MHz contactless technology and
NFC with a protected SAM socket, the CLOUD 4710 F conveniently enables
two-factor authentication and additional security for contactless applications.
Both the CLOUD 4700 F and the CLOUD 4710 F readers also are available as reader
board products for integration into non-desktop applications such as kiosks or
terminals.
