Smartlinx Inc. ("Smartlinx") (OTCBB: SMLK) is pleased to announce
the launch of SmartVM, an eGovernance application to be used with
biometric systems, which will use Fujitsu's state of the art Palm
Vein Authentication Technology. As previously disclosed, Smartlinx
has agreed to use the SmartVM application, which will now include
the Fujitsu Vein Authentication Technology, in the development of a
pilot biometric based voting system for the Forest Department of
the Government of Andhra Pradesh, India.
The SmartVM application will operate through a device called the
PalmSecure. This device scans the unique vein pattern located
inside the palm of a person to be verified as and when he or she
places their palm on the device's screen. Based on certain
parameters, the device runs an automated verification test of the
person thereby confirming his or her identity and if not, then
alerting the checker that the person is a fraud or not an
authorized entry to the place. PalmSecure is made to last heavy
duty usage and tough terrains and still perform against extreme
measures.
Commenting on the same, Sanjay Srivastava, Business Head
(PalmSecure) at Fujitsu's India, said, "We are very glad and proud
of the futuristic innovation of SmartVM. This has expanded the
scope of solutions which use our PalmSecure technology and taken it
to the next level. We are sure this would fill the gaps currently
being experienced in the budding e-governance measures. We can
imagine the several possible solutions that SmartVM can deliver,
withstanding any terrain or environmental conditions and still
continue to perform. We are very happy to add SmartVM solution in
the list of solutions prepared Globally using our PalmSecure
technology."
Mr. Sunder Raj, Executive Director , SmartLINX said, "Fujitsu is
a name that inspires trust and SmartLINX is enthused to partner
them in producing the highly sophisticated verification technology
that SmartVM application is. Our application can take the
e-governance scene in India to the next level and give the
authenticity for rural development schemes."

About Fujitsu Palmsecure
The Fujitsu PalmSecure is a palm-vein based strong
authentication system that utilizes industry-leading vascular
pattern authentication technology. Answering a worldwide need from
government, financial, healthcare and private sectors, PalmSecure
offers a highly reliable, contactless biometric authentication
system that is both non-intrusive and easy to use.
The Fujitsu PalmSecure sensor uses a near-infrared light to
capture a person's palm vein pattern, generating a unique biometric
template that is matched against pre-registered users' palm vein
patterns. The palm vein device can only recognize the pattern if
the blood is actively flowing within the individual's veins, which
means that forgery is virtually impossible.
