FaceKey teams up with Advanced Techtronix
Companies — one in biometrics, the other in home entertainment — will share technology and marketing strategies
More good news from San Antonio, Texas-based FaceKey. Last year we twice had the opportunity to report on the company, once because of its new way of biometrically securing vending machines, and soon after because of its attempts to patent a method of leveraging the speed of facial biometrics with the accuracy of fingerprints. Now we hear FaceKey has signed a joint technology sharing and marketing deal with Albuquerque, New Mexico-based Advanced Techtronix (now known as AccessKey IP). Techtronix/AccessKey is involved in a wide variety of technologies, from an iPod remote control to nanotechnology to a flash-drive sized set-top box controller for home entertainment. According to FaceKey’s Yevgeny Levitov, the move will not only expand each company’s presence, but will “lead to reduced operating costs and increased product sales”.
