News Release
Reston, Virginia - OCTOBER 8, 2004:

The system consists of a family of compact fingerprint readers ("units") networked to one or more servers and browser based control centers. The SofTouch™ units are based on XPAND developed control and network firmware with OEM biometric sensors. The SoftView™ Web-based server software supports the establishment of a distributed System Operations Center for managing users and units.

All components of the system were developed in the United States. US government clients will be served by US based production facilities, while commercial and international clients may use offshore production facilities.
