Oslo, August 13, 2021 - NEXT Biometrics (Oslo Bors: NEXT), has signed a
partnership agreement with Paravision, the San Francisco-based, #1 ranked U.S.
face recognition company.

The partnership enables NEXT to offer dual authentication methods to customers
looking for both face and fingerprint biometric solutions. 

Paravision is the #1 ranked U.S. provider and a top-10 global provider in
several of NIST's Face Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT) reports. Utilizing the
latest in AI and computer vision, Paravision delivers better than 99.9% accuracy
in many use cases. 

Customers in several industry sectors will now be offered both top-ranked face
recognition and FBI-certified fingerprint solutions. As an example, NEXT already
has existing customers providing devices including both fingerprint and face
authentication methods. With this partnership NEXT will become even more
relevant in a rapidly developing biometric industry.

"We are proud to partner with NEXT Biometrics to power trusted, industry-leading
face recognition and dual authentication solutions. Face and fingerprint are
highly complementary, and we're excited to see NEXT deliver the value of both
modalities to their customer base." says Paravision CEO Doug Aley. 

In this multi-year agreement, Paravision will support NEXT in providing dual
authentication solutions to customers. This will enable NEXT to start generating
software revenues on top of existing fingerprint hardware revenues.

"We have found a perfect partner in Paravision. With this step NEXT enters the
software market and we enrich our biometric offering overnight", says NEXT CEO
Peter Heuman.
