About UsFulcrum Biometrics was founded in late 2002 by a group of entrepreneurs led by the company's current President and CEO Mr. Ken Nosker. Prior to founding Fulcrum, Mr. Nosker was with the biometric payments pioneer Indivos Corporation ( PaybyTouch.com) for nearly 3 years where he played a key role in the development, deployment, and management of Pay-by-Touch(SM), the world's first fully biometric based payment system. Fulcrum Biometrics was founded as a biometrics technology consultancy for companies implementing biometric identification systems. The company's original mission was to help clients close the knowledge gap between biometrics technology theory and its practical application. Due to customer demand and a lack of knowledgeable suppliers in the biometrics industry Fulcrum later added software technology and hardware distribution to our consultancy practice. Fulcrum rapidly established itself as a reputable and highly customer focused supplier and our domestic and international distribution grew rapidly. In the early years of the company, Fulcrum continuosuly encountered firms that desired to incorporate biometric technologies into their enterprise or service offerings but were unable to do so for lack of the technical resources. This lead to Fulcrum establishing our custom software integration and development practice which is now a major pillar of the business. Fulcrum is now able to offer a full complement of consulting, custom integration and product distribution. In January of 2009 Fulcrum opened its first international sales and distribution office in the city of Gurgaon India. Fulcrum Biometrics India Pvt. Ltd. serves as the regional sales, distribution and support hub for India and surrounding countries. Today Fulcrum Biometrics is a single point of contact for anyone selecting, integrating and deploying biometrics enabled systems. We are deeply committed to the growth and expansion of the biometrics industry and developing new and innovative applications of biometrics in such areas as Micro Finance, E-Government, Retail Point-of-Sale, Healthcare, Travel, Benefits Management and Banking. As biometric identification moves to meet the rapidly growing global security challenges of tomorrow, Fulcrum Biometrics will continue to enable its clients to achieve full benefit from practical application of this powerful technology.

Fulcrum Biometrics Announces the FbF™ mobileOne, a Portable Biometric Fingerprint Scanner for iPod touch
FBI-certified silicon fingerprint sensor enables the development of fast, portable, cost-effective biometric solutions for mobile identification; Companion FbF mobileOne App now available on the App Store
San Antonio, Texas USA – May 16, 2011 – Fulcrum Biometrics, a leading international provider, distributor and integrator of multiple biometric identification systems and biometric devices, today announced its FbF™ mobileOne fingerprint biometric accessory and companion app are now available exclusively for iPod touch. The world’s first fingerprint biometric solution designed exclusively for iOS, FbF mobileOne is an elegant, high-quality fingerprint reader accessory that easily snaps onto iPod touch (2nd, 3rd, or 4th generation). By harnessing the processing power of iPod touch, FbF mobileOne enables the development and deployment of reliable, portable and networkable biometric identification systems that are cost-effective and powerful enough for government, medical and law enforcement applications.
“As a major international distributor of biometric systems, we identify global market trends that can have significant, long term impact in our industry,” said Ken Nosker, president of Fulcrum Biometrics. "The FbF mobileOne for iPod touch is well positioned to meet the growing market demand for applications including microfinance, healthcare, workforce management and demographic data collection.”
Portable biometric identification systems are in use worldwide, however these systems usually involve a laptop PC, tethered fingerprint scanner and other equipment that require separate power sources, making them difficult to use in remote and rural areas. Because of its pocket size and 9+ hour battery life, FbF mobileOne is perfectly suited for mobile identification systems such as biometric voter registration, on-site time and attendance for construction or farm workers and law enforcement warrant searches – a time-consuming and costly process that usually involves taking offenders back to the station for booking. The FbF mobileOne can be used for logical and physical security and it is suitable as part of a HIPAA-compliant medical information system.
The FbF mobileOne uses AuthenTec’s TCEFC1 TouchChip™ silicon fingerprint module which sends FIPS-201/PIV-certified fingerprint images (an image quality standard widely accepted in global government programs) to the FbF mobileOne App on iPod touch for onboard processing, storage and forwarding. The FbF mobileOne App supports the embedded fingerprint scanner.
The FbF mobileOne accessory plugs into the Apple 30-pin connector on iPod touch. The FbF mobileOne captures fingerprint images when a finger is placed on the sensor and securely uploads the data to the FbF mobileOne App on iPod touch where it is processed, matched against the on-board fingerprint database or forwarded to a remote host.
“AuthenTec is pleased our TouchChip technology is integrated into Fulcrum Biometrics FbF mobileOne solution. AuthenTec is the only provider of a FIPS-201-certified silicon fingerprint sensor, which is ideally suited for mobile ID applications,” said Mike Chaudoin, Director of Government and Access Control Marketing at AuthenTec. “The TCEFC1 is a thin, power efficient fingerprint module which has been widely deployed. Immune to strong light that can degrade the fingerprint image quality of optical fingerprint sensors, the TCEFC1 offers a compelling mobile identification solution for the FbF mobileOne.”
