Idemia has been awarded the Automated Border
Control System (ABCS) contract for Singapore’s air, land and sea
checkpoints, by the country’s Immigration & Checkpoints Authority
(ICA) and HTX (Home Team Science and Technology Agency).
Idemia was first awarded the contract to roll-out
automated gates for immigration clearance at Changi Airport in
2017.
Since then, the company has subsequently worked with ICA and HTX to equip other
Changi Airport terminals as well as Woodlands and Tuas land
checkpoints with automated gates, delivering seamless and secure
travel experience for all travellers entering and leaving the
country.
Idemia will now expand its investment in Singapore, nurturing local
talent and expertise by putting its systems into
all of the country’s air, land and sea border checkpoints.
Idemia will deploy
its Augmented Borders Suite along with new front-end technologies
that
includes its advanced ID-Look devices and a range of
digital processing solutions to deliver a smart, automated and robust border
crossing system.
“We’re thrilled to be awarded this high-profile
contract that showcases our ability to surpass our customers’
expectations, our ongoing and significant investment in innovation
and our capacity to roll out our technologies at scale. We look
forward to paving the way for a future digital travel era,” said Matt Cole, Idemia Executive Vice President, Public
Security and Identity.
With nearly 15,000 employees, Idemia is trusted by
over 600 governmental organizations and more than 2,300
