Ismaning, Germany, June 6, 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 its SCM3712 commercial NFC
reader module, a compact add-on that enables NFC (Near Field
Communication) peer-to-peer functionality for a wide range of devices
and equipment, from handheld card readers to POS terminals to vending
machines. The reader can be plugged into an existing commercial
device to make it NFC ready and enable contactless, secure data
exchange for applications such as cashless payments, ticketing,
electronic ID and loyalty couponing. The SCM3712 NFC reader module is
available now to OEMs and systems integrators.

"NFC technology is becoming increasingly important across a range of
markets because it delivers the convenience of a "tap and go" user
experience in a way that is highly secure," said Michael Ganzera,
Vice President Business Development and Marketing for SCM
Microsystems. "System integrators are requesting NFC-enabling
technology that is flexible and can be easily integrated into their
equipment designs to accelerate time to market for new contactless
products. The SCM3712 reader module from SCM Microsystems addresses
this need with industry leading contactless technology that helps
equipment suppliers participate fully in the emerging NFC
eco-system."

The SCM3712 NFC module has a small footprint, connects via a USB
interface and is available with either an integrated antenna or an
optional external antenna. It offers ISO 14443, FeliCa, NFC
peer-to-peer functionality and is fully capable of handling NFC
Forum-compliant tags based on MIFARE, FeliCa and Topaz technology as
well as NFC-enabled mobile phones or other devices.

Upcoming NFC Software Development Kit The SCM3712 NFC module will be
included within SCM´s soon to be released NFC Software Development
Kit (SDK) for application developers. The SDK will also include NFC
Forum Tags as software, drivers and tools. SCM´s NFC Software
Development Kit will be available in mid 2011.
