NEXT Biometrics Receives First Mass Production Order for China ID Fingerprint Solutions
NEXT Biometrics, the world leader in advanced high-security fingerprint sensor technology, has secured its first mass production order for solutions that will be used in China ID products. The order, for NEXT Basalt FAP 20 sensors, is from an existing China-based OEM distributor and will be integrated into China ID products to support banking use cases.
This news follows an initial order from the same distributor, which was announced in Q3 2024. This milestone reflects the growing demand for trusted authentication in China’s banking and financial services industries.
“Our technology continues to gain momentum as an enabler for China ID products, and we expect demand to increase further.” says Joshua Chiu, Senior Vice President, Head of Sales South-East Asia. “The banking sector requires high security, speed, convenience and reliability. The continued trust from our customers in the sector is a testament to the performance of our Basalt FAP 20 solution.”
The targeted annual volume for the deal is close to NOK 0,8 million, with deliveries scheduled to start in Q3 2025.
NEXT’s Active Thermal® technology uses both heat from the finger and 3D imaging to authenticate the user. This enables superior authentication speed and liveness detection to combat spoofing attacks, when compared with other fingerprint authentication technologies. The product also minimizes energy consumption and delivers exceptional performance in varying light and environmental conditions.
Over the last 25 years, NEXT Biometrics has shipped more than 10 million sensors. Its Active Thermal® technologies are certified by entities including Aadhaar, FBI-PIV, MOSIP Compliance and NIBSS, and have been implemented in countries including Bangladesh, China, Ghana, India, Malaysia, Pakistan, U.S. and Vietnam.
