BIO-key International, an innovative provider of biometric software and hardware solutions for strong and convenient user authentication, announced it has secured initial orders for its TouchLock series of biometric locks.
TouchLock provides the security necessary to protect physical items, while at the same time eliminating the need for a key or to remember a lock's combination. Each TouchLock model allows for multiple users fingerprints to be registered, depending upon the use case. The original owner or enrollee becomes the lock's administrator and is able to manage between 1 to 20 different user fingers. TouchLocks ensure that only those who are enrolled to open the lock are actually able to do so - providing a new level of padlock security not previously available. BIO-key's lock line includes:
TouchLock XL a durable, heavy-duty and water resistant padlock designed for securing outdoor facilities, gates, and sheds, as well as for other outdoor uses. MSRP of $49.99.
TouchLock TSA designed for travel luggage and meets U.S. Transportation Security Administration travel lock standards including the ability for airport security to open the lock using a TSA master key. MSRP of $49.99.
TouchLock Designer series offers compact, one-touch fingerprint locks that come in a variety of colors and patterns. These eye-catching locks were designed to protect handbags, laptop bags, purses, briefcases, and other small to mid-size portable personal items. MSRP of $49.99.
TouchLock Bike and TouchLock Bike BLE brings the convenience of biometric and BlueTooth security to a robust but easy to use cable lock designed to protect your bicycle or motorcycle. With TouchLock Bike, you are just a fingertip away from securing or unlocking your prized bicycle using an easy and highly secure fingerprint touch. TouchLock Bike BLE offers customers the option of opening the lock with the fingerprint sensor of their smartphone or by entering a PIN number. MSRP of $54.99.
BIO-key's TouchLock BLE comes without a fingerprint reader as it is a bluetooth enabled padlock that operates using the key-pad or fingerscanner embedded in your smartphone [along with the TouchLock app] to operate the lock. It comes in a variety of vibrant colors. MSRP of $44.99.
"Our Asia Pacific sales team is pleased to have procured initial orders from our first distribution customers in Japan and China," stated Wong Kwok Fong, Managing Director, BIO-key Hong Kong. "Additionally, we have opened discussions with some of the largest bicycle manufacturers in both countries about bundling our biometric locks with the purchase of their bicycles."
"The commercial launch of these innovative products is a major milestone for BIO-key's consumer facing business and a direct benefit of our strategic partnership and presence in Asia. It's fitting that we achieve our first commercial orders in Asia," stated Mike DePasquale, Chairman & CEO, BIO-key. "Everyone needs a lock - for the gym, their bicycle, bag or luggage, fence or gate - and our TouchLock smart-lock series allows consumers to forget their combinations and throw away their keys and replace them with the 'power of a touch.' We are working to build upon these sales in Asia at the same time we are in discussions with distributors and retailers in the U.S."
