Ideco to demo its new all-in-one mobile biometrics unit at Securex

 

Ideco will be showcasing its new all-in-one mobile biometrics unit later this month at Securex, a security and fire trade exhibition in Africa.

The solution was recently launched at the connect:ID 2016 conference and expo in Washington, D.C.

The company’s Biometric Identity Management System (BIMS) enables biometric identification across a range of modalities as well as being highly mobile and readily configurable. It can be rolled out rapidly in any environment requiring agile identification and processing of crowds.

According to a company statement, the unit and its supporting system were designed and built in South Africa at a cost of over R20 million ($1.3M USD) in R&D and two and a half years of man hours by a team of software and firmware developers and engineers.

BIMS is enclosed in a device the size of a ruggedised laptop and is capable of six biometric modalities and delivers a full range of connectivity options including Bluetooth, WiFi, GSM, GPS, LAN and Cloud. The biometrics company says the unit has been designed to the world’s most stringent hardware and software security standards, and harnesses intelligent power management for prolonged battery life of up to 12 hours.

Ideco CEO Marius Coetzee says, “BIMS is unlike any other solution currently on the market for biometric user identification and access control. It enables agile, rapid roll-out of advanced biometrics-based solution; and has relevance for both the public and private sector across any number of verticals.

“The need for secure and authentic identity management has reached crisis proportions globally, with demand for advanced biometrics surging. The biometrics systems market is predicted to be worth anything from $15-billion to $24-billion by 2020.”

Coetzee continues, “Before the advent of BIMS, none could deliver six modalities in a single portable device, which can be used in any configuration for multiple levels of identification, as well as integrating into existing enterprise systems quickly and easily.”

BIMS’ mobile and uniquely configurable abilities facilitate both identity enrolment and identity validation at any place, any time and through the use of APIs, the solution can be integrated with any backend system. This is a world first multi-modal, multi-functional, uniquely configurable mobile identity management solution.

“Due to the huge potential for mass adoption of BIMS solutions around the world, Ideco is currently in talks with international technology companies on distribution partnerships,” concludes Coetzee.
