Model AuthenTec Alliance Member - Symbian

So what kind of companies can become AuthenTec Alliance members? One good example is Symbian Limited. As a charter member of the AuthenTec Alliance, Symbian is helping advance the proliferation of fingerprint-enabled phones through its open operating systems for mobile phones. Symbian has partnered with AuthenTec on the development of 14 different fingerprint-enabled cell phone models, encompassing more than 7 million phones. Every fingerprint-enabled device based on a Symbian OS today uses an AuthenTec sensor.

Symbian operating systems bring unprecedented capabilities to the majority of today’s high-end feature phones and smartphones. AuthenTec’s sensors complement these phones by conveniently protecting both personal and corporate data, providing advanced user input control and enabling secure m-commerce transactions.
