Morpho (Safran) has signed a contract to deploy its integrated multi-biometric border control system at the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) major international airports.
As per the biometric e-border contract the French multinational will deliver 96 e-Gates and 94 e-Counters in five major airports across the UAE, starting with Abu Dhabi airport in spring 2015.
The contract has been offered through Electronic Identity Management and Security Solutions, a UAE-based technology consulting company which also deals in digital identity and security solutions.
The biometric system also includes Morpho’s touchless ‘finger on-the-fly’ technology.
Iris and face recognition technology will be extensively used for border control along with Morpho Iris-at-a-Distance (IAD) cameras, which boast less than one second of capture time for irises and faces.
In Abu Dhabi the border control system will integrate with existing Ministry of Interior systems, such as the visa enrollment centres operated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Morpho already supplies security systems to various UAE government agencies including the Abu Dhabi Police, Emirates Identity Authority, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Abu Dhabi Airports Company and the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority
