Ismaning, Germany, April 18, 2011 (euro adhoc) - SCM Microsystems, a
leading provider of solutions for secure access, secure identity and
secure exchange and a business unit of Identive Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:
INVE, Frankfurt: INV), today announced that it has received its first
orders for 10,000 eHealth terminals to support the relaunch of the
electronic health card program in Germany. SCM has begun shipping
both its eHealth200 desktop and eHealth500 mobile health card
terminals for the program, which involves the deployment of more than
80 million electronic health insurance cards to German citizens.

The German eHealth card program began in 2009, and after being
suspended in 2010, was relaunched in April 2011. To encourage
participation in the program, the German health insurance industry is
subsidizing the purchase and installation of eHealth terminals for
doctors and other healthcare professionals who order the devices
between April 1 and September 30, 2011. SCM´s eHealth readers are
certified by the German healthcare oversight organization (gematik)
and the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) as meeting the
strict security and performance requirements of the eHealth program.

"From the beginning, SCM has worked closely with the German security
and healthcare industries to develop eHealth terminals that address
the needs of doctors, patients and all others affected by the rollout
of the electronic health card in Germany," said Dr. Manfred Mueller,
chief executive officer of SCM Microsystems. "Now that the eHealth
program is finally underway, we are ready to deliver products with
state-of-the-art, certified technology."
