It introduced the first Thumbdrive Bio, which can only be unlocked via facial recognition, preventing thieves from accessing the data. It also launched a portable WLAN server with wireless charging, wireless protocols, and data storage. Tan shares, “We wanted to offer an all-in-one workstation for busy people on the go.”
If you have ever used the ubiquitous thumb drive or transferred your holiday photographs wirelessly from your camera, it is the innovation of Singaporean technology firm Trek 2000 International (SGX:5AB
) that made it possible. After the invention of the disruptive thumb drive and its launch worldwide in 2000, Trek 2000 went on to develop a series of disruptive inventions and innovations, carving out its own pioneering path.
In 2010, it unveiled the world’s first WiFi SD card, known as FluCard. “At the time, cameras’ basic feature was photo-taking while memory cards were for storing data. We embedded WiFi modules in the memory card, enabling it to transmit live data wirelessly. All digital cameras with Trek’s Flucard can immediately transfer their contents onto your mobile devices, PCs and terminals,” says Trek 2000 group president and executive chairman Wayne Tan.
