Oslo, Norway, February 16, 2025 - NEXT Biometrics, a world leader in advanced
high-security fingerprint sensor technology, has received an additional order
from an existing distributor. The order of NEXT's FAP 20, Basalt, order valued
at NOK 3.5 million with requested deliveries starting in Q2 2026 and with
expected completion in Q4 2026. This call off order is a part of the contract
that NEXT announced on May 13, 2025.
"It is great to see the Indian market continue to drive demand, and for NEXT to
once again receive a sizeable order for NEXT Basalt, FAP20", says Digvijay Singh
Kanwar, Senior Vice President, Head of Sales IUEA (India, US, EU and Africa). "
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.
