SCM Microsystems Announces Secure Digital Media Readers
Leading Digital Media Reader Company to Develop Products Leveraging New SD
Flash Memory Cards
LOS GATOS, Calif., Jan. 6 /PRNewswire/ --
SCM Microsystems, Inc., (Nasdaq: SCMM; Neuer Markt: SMY), the leading provider
of solutions that enable people to conveniently access digital content and
services, announced today plans to develop card readers for a new class of
flash memory cards, called Secure Digital, or SD memory cards. The readers
will be sold with digital consumer electronics devices such as Internet music
players and digital cameras to facilitate the rapid and secure transfer of
digital information. Under development by leading consumer electronics and
digital media companies, including Matsushita Electric, SanDisk and Toshiba,
Secure Digital cards are small size, high speed read/write next generation
memory cards capable of providing a high level of copy protection for music,
movies and other artistic and commercial content.
"SD Memory cards will enable a new generation of digital audio and video
products and applications, and we are committed to providing readers that will
allow consumers to enjoy the benefits of this powerful new media form
factor," said Alan Jones, President SCM Microsystems U.S. "Our SD media
readers leverage SCM`s expertise in security and connectivity to provide
secure transfer of sensitive data with the fastest download times, easiest
connections and greatest reliability for the user. Our world class
manufacturing capabilities will enable us to deliver high quality, low cost SD
readers in volume to consumer electronics manufacturers around the world."
Flash memory-based removable storage cards provide a compact, reliable,
and easy-to-use medium to store high volumes of visual, audio and other data
for digital music players and cameras, personal digital assistants (PDAs),
video cameras, cellular phones and other digital consumer electronics
products. The proliferation of digital devices is creating rapid growth for
these removable media. In addition, the increasing use of removable flash
memory cards to transfer and store digital content such as Internet music and
personal data has led to demand for methods to improve copyright protection
for artists and other content owners and provide greater data security for
users. The SD Memory card addresses the need for fast, secure and convenient
transfer and storage of copyrighted or sensitive content.
"The sophisticated security of the SD Memory card will unleash numerous
exciting new consumer products and enable mass distribution of copyrighted
content as well as e-commerce in a variety of multimedia and wireless/Internet
applications," said Nelson Chan, senior vice president of marketing at
SanDisk. "We are pleased that technology leaders such as SCM Microsystems are
working in parallel with the development of this new media to insure that its
deployment will be rapid and successful."
SCM Microsystems SD Memory card readers will be available in the second
quarter of 2000.
