1. IDENTIVE DELIVERS ADDITIONAL SMART CARD READERS FOR
SPANISH NATIONAL ELECTRONIC ID PROGRAM
SANTA ANA, Calif., and ISMANING, Germany, December 5, 2011 – Identive Group, Inc.
(NASDAQ: INVE; Frankfurt: INV), a provider of products and services for the identification,
security and RFID industries, today announced that it has shipped an additional 122,000
SCR3310v2.0 smart card readers to support Spain’s national electronic ID card program.
The smart card readers will be used to promote the use of the DNI electrónico, or electronic
ID card, which the Spanish government launched in late 2009. More than half of Spain’s 46
million citizens now carry the eID cards. By providing card readers free of charge, the
Spanish government aims to encourage individuals and businesses to use the secure DNI
electrónico to access eGovernment, eBanking and eAdministration applications, as well as
to digitally sign documents. Several Spanish commercial sponsors also are supporting the
project with special services and promotions that leverage the security and convenience of
the eID card.
“We are very pleased that our SCR3310v2.0 readers are being utilized to provide support
for the Spanish government’s eID program and to help both citizen and the government to
experience the full benefits of this national ID scheme. Our long experience with large-scale
government projects together with our flexibility in meeting customer requirements makes us
a preferred partner for such projects,” said Dr. Manfred Mueller, executive vice president of
Identive Group and managing director of the Company’s ID Infrastructure division. “The DNI
electrónico project offers substantial advantages to citizens as well as businesses: online
forms for government services can be filed and processed faster, and eBanking applications
can be conveniently executed.”
Identive received this most recent order for eID readers from red.es, an entity within the
Spanish Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Trade, through its distribution partner in Spain,
Algoritmos Procesos y Diseños (APD).
