05/06-2018 08:01:03: (NEXT) NEXT Biometrics Receives Key Hardware Certification for India's Aadhaar Government ID Program - Initial Revenues Expected in 4Q 2018
OSLO -- JUNE 5, 2018 -- NEXT Biometrics (Oslo Bors: NEXT), a global leader in
fingerprint sensor technology, today announced the company has received hardware
certification to provide its unique fingerprint sensor solution to India's
Aadhaar government ID program. Aadhaar is the largest and most sophisticated
biometrics-based government ID system in the world.

The certification enables NEXT to accelerate sales activity into India's
government ID market, with initial revenue expected to be recognized in the
fourth quarter.

"The certification of NEXT's fingerprint sensor technology by the Government of
India is a confirmation of the reliability, security and convenience of our
sensors," said Ritu Favre, CEO of NEXT Biometrics. "We are very pleased to have
reached this milestone after a long and rigorous testing process. Delivering
products for the Aadhaar program is an important part of NEXT's business
strategy and we look forward to a long and successful relationship helping the
government provide services for the people of India."

The total market opportunity in India for fingerprint sensors in the government
ID segment is initially projected to be about 3-4 million units annually,
growing to 5-10 million units on an annual basis by 2022. NEXT will now finalize
software development and certification for various user platforms. NEXT expects
to start generating revenue in the fourth quarter, and ramp additional products
in 2019.

NEXT's product roadmap calls first for sales of "Scallop" (3023-U) fingerprint
readers later this year, followed by sensor modules (2023-U) used in devices
such as point of sale (POS) terminals for the Aadhaar market in the first half
of 2019. An encrypted, even more highly secure fingerprint reader is planned for
introduction in the second half of 2019, followed by the encrypted version of a
sensor module in the first half of 2020. The encrypted products will comply with
"Level 1" specifications from the Unique Identification Authority of India
(UIDAI) and are being designed to support broader use of Aadhaar for payments.

UIDAI is charged with randomly assigning a unique 12-digit identification number
(called "Aadhaar") for all residents of India. The ID number is verified using
biometric authentication - the most secure form of identification. According to
the UIDAI, "Aadhaar is a strategic policy tool for social and financial
inclusion, public sector delivery reforms, managing fiscal budgets, increased
convenience and promoting hassle-free people-centric governance."

The certification received by NEXT Biometrics comes from the Ministry of
Electronics and Information Technology, Directorate of Standardisation Testing
and Quality Certification (STQC). A vendor seeking to provide products to the
Aadhaar program must submit them for rigorous testing by STQC before they will
be considered for procurement by the government. The testing for Aadhaar
participation requires certification for the hardware device and a separate
certification for each version of software that runs on the hardware platform.

Additional information about NEXT's plans to provide it's unique large-area
fingerprint sensors for use in the government ID market segment were outlined at
the company's Capital Markets Day on March 1 and may be found in the Investor
Relations section of the NEXT Biometrics website.

NEXT Biometrics will host a conference call for investors beginning at 15:00
today to further discuss today's news. Additional information regarding the
specifics for the call will be available later today on the company's website..."

Hardware sertifisering:   JA
Software sertifisering:   NEI
Solgt noe:   NEI

I absolutt beste fall snakker vi om 1 terminal per 100 innbygger over spedbarnsalder, altså et ENGANGS totalvolum på ca 10 millioner sensorer, det FPC selger på 10 arbeidsdager:

At NEXT blåser opp volumet er naturlig. Kanskje de benytter meldingen, kursoppgangen og conference-call til å kjøre en emi?
