Providing effective border control
Helping citizens to travel freely and securely
After
securing travel documents using electronic microprocessors, country authorities
main aim is now to secure borders and deploy systems able to read and verify
ePassport authenticity. At the same time, countries are facing a strong increase
in the number of air passengers (+5% in 2006) and a clear need to facilitate
passenger processing without compromising security.
That’s where Gemalto expertise comes into play with Coesys eBorder Gate,
an automated border control gate developed in tight collaboration with an
European country. This solution applies automatic and systematic highly secure
controls. At the same time, it slashes inspection time and human interventions,
allowing authorities to cope with an increased number of travelers and to focus
on potential suspects. Since manual inspection will continue, Gemalto is also
introducing the Coesys eBorder Station, designed for fast manual
inspection, which offers comprehensive checks and is ideally suited for small to
medium-sized checkpoints.
The new Coesys eBorder Solutions are:
Secure, implementing the latest and most extensive document
authenticity verifications,
Efficient, with a design ensuring the best-in-class throughput,
Flexible, compatible with all ICAO-compliant travel documents and
providing several identity verification methods, such as facial recognition
and fingerprint matching
