December 2009 by Marc Jacob
Sagem Sécurité (Safran group) has won the Frost & Sullivan 2009 European Border Security Product Innovation Award for its automated biometric border control solutions. The company’s modular control gates call on the three biometric technologies recommended by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), namely facial, fingerprint and iris recognition.
The range of MorphoWay™ solutions offered by Sagem Sécurité are fully suited to the new generation of electronic passports that have been distributed in Europe since late June 2009, in compliance with recent legislation. These automated control gates ensure the virtually real-time recognition of travelers, and simplify control procedures to speed up passenger flows at borders.
Sagem Sécurité’s automated border control solutions have already been selected for several major European airports. In particular, the IRIS system based on iris recognition has been deployed in the United Kingdom, while the PARAFES program, based on fingerprint recognition, is being implemented in France.
