Vision-Box® Successfully Deploys State-of-the-art Multibiometric Automated Border Clearance eGates at Hamad International Airport - Doha, State of Qatar
DOHA, Qatar, September 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Recently opened and already a reference for innovation and passenger experience in the
whole of the Middle East, Hamad International Airport is now the airport with one of the
largest number of ABC eGates in the world.
The new ground-breaking Hamad International Airport (HIA) in Qatar was designed with
customer experience at the fore. The result is a world-class facility, where the concept
of hospitality underpins everything. Unsurprisingly, a seamless, memorable passenger
journey was also the motto for the implementation of a state-of-the-art Border Control
process at the airport. Vision-Box(R), leader in Automated Border Control solutions and
expert in Passenger Experience, was contracted by the NDIA Steering Committee as the
partner in charge for the implementation of one of the largest number of eGates in one
single airport in the world.

The 62 vb i-match(R) eGates are already in use at the HIA, operated by Vision-Box(R)'s
front-end Border Control application, the vb inspector(R), and totally integrated with the
advanced Identity Management Infrastructure of the Ministry of the Interior of the State
of Qatar, ensuring the highest levels of security and efficiency.
The Vision-Box(R) eGates were exclusively designed to meet the Hamad International
Airport's performance and meticulous design requirements. The multimodal capabilities
allow for the use of face, iris and fingerprint as biometric identifiers. They ensure a
speedy passage time with maximum accuracy, offering state-of-the-art Automated Border
Control to several different traveller profiles, while making sure that the border is
secure and that the passenger has a pleasant experience.
Jean-Francois Lennon, Director Global Business Development, Sales & Marketing at
Vision-Box(R), emphasizes that this implementation represents the largest deployment of
multimodal ABC eGates in the world, and on a single airport. Vision-Box(R) feels honored
to be part of this world premiere airport project. "The Middle East continues to represent
an enormous potential. We've been witnessing an outburst of initiatives by Governments,
Airports, Airlines and the private sector adopting digital identity as a means to improve
security and efficiency, and also to provide value-added services to their citizens. We
look forward to further contributing to their success, both through on-going Identity
Management programs and other GCC initiatives, by continuously delivering stunning
innovation and investing in local resources".
