Massive flow of people and goods across borders helps drive the nation's economy, but can also serve as a conduit for terrorists, illegal migrants, contraband and other unlawful commodities. Governments around the world today face increasing pressure to tighten border security without undermining trade. |
Where it matters most, governments and enterprises all over the world count on reliable biometrics solutions to enhance operational efficiency and to make the world a safer place for all. Border Control remains a top priority homeland security responsibility in most countries due to the dynamic trade and political exchanges among nations today. Governments around the globe devote rich resources to perform the duty of providing peace of mind for their people.
NEC APAC's Automatic Border Control (ABC) System provides these Governments with the opportunity to:
- Multiply operational efficiency at borders through automation while heightening the security of immigration duties
- A traditional immigration checkpoint procedure which normally takes 10 minutes or more, can now be done in seconds
- This also translates to greater convenience for travellers
- Precious resources can be re-deployed for more critical functions such as terrorism detection and control
Deployment Examples
- Singapore - Immigration and border control for work visa holders
- Hong Kong SAR - the world's first drive-thru face recognition system for border control, utilizing NEC's facial recognition technology to identify people inside their vehicle
