Intelli-Check – Mobilisa Launches New Product - April 26, 2008
PORT TOWNSEND, Wa.-Intelli-Check - Mobilisa, Inc. (AMEX: IDN), a leader in identity and wireless systems, announced that it will be launching its latest product, the IM 2700 - Transportation Worker Card Reader, at the upcoming GovSec 2008 Conference in Washington DC, on April 23rd and 24th.
The IM2700 is a rugged, mobile, handheld computer which reads the newly-developed Transportation Worker Identification Credential, or TWIC. The IM2700 can quickly access ID card information via several methods including: 1D and 2D barcodes, magnetic stripe, smart chip, proximity or RFID, and biometrics.
Introduced by the Department of Homeland Security, the TWIC was created in an effort to better secure our nation’s port facilities and will be required of all workers – such as truckers, longshoremen and other port employees - by September 25, 2008.
“As a leader in access-control systems that use government issued ID cards, we recognized early-on the importance of the new TWIC program,” stated Dr. Nelson Ludlow, CEO of Intelli-Check – Mobilisa. “Our newest product, the IM2700, builds upon our already successful and proven line of access-control security products for the Defense Department and Law Enforcement and makes them even better. We are excited be the first company to develop a mobile handheld system capable of reading these new cards.”
In order to obtain a TWIC, workers must pre-enroll at designated enrollment facilities and then submit to a background check, as well as submit biometric information such as fingerprints and photographs. The Intelli-Check - Mobilisa IM2700 system reads the encoded information on the TWIC card and verifies the information. Additionally, it has a built-in PIN capability and fingerprint matching to further verify the person’s identity.
The US Government estimates that over 1.5 million transportation workers will be required to have TWIC cards.
