Waterproof phone with fingerprint sensor

A uthenTec, the world leading provider of fingerprint sensors and solutions, announced that NTT DOCOMO is now offering subscribers the world’s first fingerprint-enabled waterproof cell phone, the Fujitsu F-01A handset.

This feature-rich phone is the first to use a fingerprint sensor using AuthenTec’s revolutionary new TouchStone packaging. In addition to convenient and easy-to-use security, the phone incorporates AuthenTec’s TrueNav technology for touchpad-like navigational control via AuthenTec’s AES1711 fingerprint sensor.




Waterproof mobile phoneThe Fujitsu F01A is the 17th Fujitsu phone to leverage the convenient security of an AuthenTec fingerprint sensor and the second Fujitsu phone to use AuthenTec's TrueNav user navigation capability.
The Fujitsu F-01 A is based on a Symbian operating system and features a 3.5-inch widescreen VGA touchscreen display, 5.2 megapixel camera with Autofocus, built-in GPS using Mobile Google Maps with Street View, e-Wallet mobile payment capability, and a 1Seg mobile TV tuner.
More than 9 million mobile phones today include an AuthenTec sensor to enhance privacy by securing the device's personal and corporate data (e-mail, photos, contact lists, etc.), provide advanced navigation and personalization functions and support secure m-commerce.

The leading cause of cell phone returns not covered under warranty is damage from exposure to excess moisture or immersion in water such as in pools and hot tubs. Fujitsu's F-01A waterproof cell phone meets IPX5 and IPX7 specifications, making it capable of submersion in one meter of water for up to 30 minutes. AuthenTec's TouchStone package allows easy integration into various waterproof industrial design configurations by providing the durability & water resistance required for this class of handsets.
Waterproof phone fingerprint sensor security
AuthenTec's TouchStone is a durable, thin profile fingerprint sensor packaging technology which expands aesthetic and product integration options for makers of cell phones, laptop computers, and other consumer electronics.
TouchStone technology combines all the features of AuthenTec's patented TruePrint technology with thin, durable, easy to integrate, waterproof and surface-mountable packaging for today's stylistic cell phone designs. Unlike all other semiconductor components embedded within a cell phone or other consumer electronic device, fingerprint sensors must be durable enough to withstand the common wear and tear experienced on the outside of the phone. TouchStone technology extends the already proven durability of AuthenTec sensors by tripling the protective coating over the fingerprint sensor die.
AuthenTec AES1711 sensor
AuthenTec's AES1711 low power, small form factor sensor for the wireless market is based on TruePrint technology, AuthenTec's patented and unique solution that reads below the surface of the skin to the live layer where a person's true fingerprint resides.
This patented subsurface approach enables AuthenTec sensors to read virtually every fingerprint, every time - a critical requirement in any fingerprint-enabled device. The sensor also combines AuthenTec's TrueNav menu navigation features, TrueFinger anti-spoofing security, and TrueMatch pattern matching to ensure the industry's highest level of security, usability and convenience.
