LAS VEGAS, Nev., March 27, 2012 (euro adhoc) - Hirsch Identive, a
leading provider of integrated high security access solutions and a
business unit of Identive Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE; Frankfurt: INV),
will demonstrate at ICS West this week a new access solution that
enables customers to use NFC-enabled mobile phones as secure
credentials to access their facilities. The "Mobile Touch to Open"
demonstration leverages Hirsch Identive´s powerful new DIGI*Net
access control platform, Velocity 3.5 management software and
multiple near field communication (NFC) door readers to provide an
end-to-end NFC physical access solution.

"Many of our customers have been assessing the use of mobile phones
as an alternative to traditional access cards as a more convenient ID
device," says Stephen Healy, President and General Manager of Hirsch
Identive. "Our NFC `Mobile Touch to Open´ solution demonstrates how
customers can augment or over time replace their traditional access
credentials with NFC-enabled smartphones, lowering the cost of
credential issuance and improving security by reducing forgotten
access cards."

Adoption of NFC is accelerating, with nearly 300 million NFC-enabled
mobile phones expected to be on the market by 2014. Both government
and enterprise organizations are looking to leverage the benefits of
NFC in their access control systems. Hirsch Identive´s "Mobile Touch
to Open" demonstration brings together the mobility and convenience
of NFC with the proven reliability and security of Hirsch Identive
solutions, now redesigned to provide powerful growth capability as
new business challenges evolve, while still supporting traditional
and legacy systems.

The integrated "Mobile Touch to Open" demonstration is being
showcased at the Hirsch Identive booth #26087 at the International
Security Conference and Exhibition - ISC West 2012, taking place
March 28 - 30 in Las Vegas, Nevada. In addition, the Hirsch Identive
booth will feature NFC-enabled displays and NFC experts will be
available to discuss the NFC functionality and use of mobile devices
as both readers as well as credentials.
