SANTA ANA, Calif. and ISMANING, Germany, May 14, 2013 – Identive Group, Inc.
(NASDAQ: INVE); (Frankfurt: INV), a provider of products and services for the identification,
security and RFID industries, today announced the newest addition to its family of
next-generation smart card readers. The new CLOUD 2700 contact reader allows secure
logon to PCs and networks, authentication to web and cloud-based systems, single sign-on
and secure access to banking and cashless payment applications. For government agencies
and other high assurance environments, the CLOUD 2700 supports cyber security initiatives.
“The CLOUD 2700 reader offers a new level of performance for the hundreds of millions of
contact smart cards currently used for PC logon, as well as for the growing base of contact
cards for banking, payment and identity management. User convenience was also an
important focus in the development of the new reader and as a result the CLOUD 2700 is
more interoperable and faster than any other device in the market,” said Dr. Manfred Mueller,
executive vice president and COO, Identification Products for Identive. “The CLOUD 2700
further extends our growing portfolio of next-generation contact, contactless, dual interface

provides increased performance, shorter transaction times and enhanced security for
sensitive data. The reader is fully compliant with the ISO7816 standard so works with any
contact smart card. It is CCID compliant for USB interface and works with all major PC
operating systems. EMV level 1 and GSA FIPS 201 certification make the CLOUD 2700 ideal
for use in financial transactions and in highly secure government environments. The CLOUD
2700 reader is offered with fixed firmware or in a highly secure field-upgradable version for
