| Solution integrates platforms, software and services to enhance security of border check points and significantly reduce waiting times through automated document verification and border control systems |
AMSTERDAM, Mar 25, 2014 - (ACN Newswire) - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader in digital security, has introduced the Coesys Border and Visa Management solution to meet the combined needs of securing borders and simplifying travel procedures. The end-to-end solution integrates high-availability service platforms, secure software and on-site services to significantly reduce waiting times through the use of automated document verification and border control at land, sea and airport check points. Gemalto's visa and border management technology enables government authorities to implement an electronically connected system for easy deployment of immigration policies.
This new, entirely computerized system enhances security and provides a more efficient set of tools to monitor border entries and exits. It also delivers higher rates of detection and prevention through official international databases to check if the travel document has been lost or stolen. Coesys Border and Visa Management can easily incorporate automated e-gates at border immigration check points. These highly secure, two-stage traveler verification systems first verify that the e-passport is authentic and then performs facial or fingerprint recognition to match the holder to the electronic data securely stored on the e-passport.
In addition to a dedicated platform for border control, Gemalto's portfolio includes consultancy, solution design, system integration and full support for the transition from legacy systems to integrated border management infrastructures. Coesys Border & Visa Management leverages Gemalto's unique global footprint and long-standing trusted relationships with government and authorities worldwide, acquired through more than 80 successful deployments in the public sector.
"This new solution capitalizes on Gemalto's security expertise and the hundreds of millions of electronic travel documents with the associated services that we have deployed so far," said Frederic Trojani, Executive Vice President, Government Programs at Gemalto. "With air passengers traffic expected to double by 2030[1] and 53% of all passports issued forecast to embed the electronic feature in 2017[2], Coesys Border and Visa Management comes about just when governments need to fast track travelers through major international airports, with no compromise on security."
