Gunnebo Wins Strategic Order to Supply ImmSec to
Bahrain International Airport
STOCKHOLM, Sweden--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:
Gunnebo security group (STO:GUNN) has signed an order to supply high
security immigration gates, the ImmSec, at the Bahrain International
Airport. The order was received since Gunnebos
existing installations of immigrations systems in both the UK and Japan
proved decisive. ImmSec is a highly secure and efficient control system that permits only
one person at a time to pass through the gate. The initial order is for
four trial-lanes of ImmSec into which smart identification card,
fingerprint biometric reader and two LCD-monitors will be integrated.
Furthermore, Gunnebos unique system for
single person and left items detection, TDAR, will be integrated. The
order was received in cooperation with Securicore, Gunnebos
local partner in Bahrain.
We believe that the ImmSec has a considerable
potential at entrance-points that need to combine a rapid flow of people
with a high measure of security, as for instance immigration control,
says Gφran Gezelius, President and CEO Gunnebo
AB. All biometric identification requires the
ID-documents to be pre-programmed, but in return it allows extremely
rapid passage at integration points and control stations for those who
have biometric travel documentation.
Installation of the first four gates will start in September 2008 and
the order has a potential to be expanded to include the whole airport.
Bahrains government has introduced Smart Card
Identification to facilitate daily activities and integrate all citizen
services via one platform. In connection to this project, the government
decided to equip Bahrain International Airport with Electronic
Immigration Gates. This means that Bahrain can be the first country to
allow its citizens to migrate and immigrate the country with automated,
biometric immigration procedures.
ImmSec is Gunnebos unique system for
automated immigration at airports, ports and land borders. The detection
system identifies single and multiple configurations of people. Luggage,
infants and children are also detected by the system. The integrated
overhead detection system verifies single person occupancy and persons
fraudulently attempting to violate immigration security protocols.
