Antarix launches biometric mouse; seeks resellers

Mumbai-based Antarix Tech Zone has recently launched Mouse FP, a mouse with

fingerprint identification facility. The company also has a stand-alone

fingerprint identification device called the Hamster, which has an USB port and

can be attached to any computing device to block access to folders and files.

Antarix is now seeking resellers to sell these products to niche customer

segments. Both products are targeted at banking and financial institutions as

well as corporates. Mouse FP is priced at Rs 13,000, while the Hamster is

available at Rs 9,000.

Partners can earn margins of up to eight percent each for both devices.

"We want partners who are already catering to these customer segments to

bundle our product with their entire networking package," says Girish

Thakkar, Proprietor of Antarix Tech Zone. The products carry a one-year warranty

with replacement by refurbished units. The company hopes to sell 5,000 units in

the AMJ quarter.
