L-1 Identity Solutions Launches ID-Suite, Customized Identity and Document Verification Solutions for Border Management, Law Enforcement and Driver's License Markets



    L-1 Identity Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:ID), a leading provider of
    identity solutions and services, today introduced ID Suite, a new and
    enhanced set of hardware and software packaged into customized
    solution sets to meet specific identity challenges in international
    border management, law enforcement and U.S. driver's license
    applications. The suite of hardware and software solutions offer a
    better and more efficient means of verifying identity documents,
    tracking issuance and usage of identity documents. It also delivers
    improved business operation efficiencies by automating document
    authentication, data capture, document scanning, data management,
    workflow processing, auditing and reporting.

    "Agencies are struggling to find a balance between issuing secure
    identity documents and following processes that comply with federal
    legislation and standards, while also managing their businesses
    efficiently and delivering strong customer service," said Leo
    Sullivan, President of the Secure Credentialing division of L-1
    Identity Solutions. "ID-Suite is designed to help our customers meet
    this challenge, offering a new standard for secure, accurate and
    efficient document authentication, scanning and identity data
    management."

    ID-Suite is built on L-1's core document authentication
    technology, currently deployed in more than 4,000 installations
    worldwide. ID-Suite features L-1's new document reader, the J1000. The
    device is the first of kind, smaller in size and weight and designed
    specifically for small documents, such as drivers' licenses, making it
    well suited for law enforcement use in police cars or at police
    stations. Additional hardware components include new versions of the
    fifth generation B5000 and B5000-SC (Smart Chip) document scanners
    that read RFID embedded e-passports and secure drivers licenses.
    Enhancements include increased speed, enhanced accuracy, improved
    ergonomics and usability, and automatic document detection all in a
    smaller and lighter weight reader, making it ideal for border
    management applications.

    A set of software applications that run congruently with the
    hardware devices is also included. Add-on modules such as Global ID,
    ID-License, ID-Passport, and ID Reference can be purchased to further
    extend the document authentication capabilities of each solution.

    Ideal for Law Enforcement, Border Management and Driver's License
    Applications

    ID-Suite includes advanced document authentication hardware and
    software that provides leading-edge authentication, accuracy, speed
    and biometric integration capabilities for all markets. Further, the
    document authentication hardware offerings are customized to handle
    the specific need of select markets. This includes workflow and
    delegation of adjudication authority within the driver's license
    market; quick and accurate processing of all international identity
    documents, including those with smart chips, within the border
    management market; and mobility and access to information within the
    law enforcement market.

    ID Suite is ideal for use in law enforcement, offering a small,
    compact and light weight portable unit that can run from a laptop
    computer without requiring stand-alone power. It also is designed for
    ID1 size documents, eliminating unnecessary functionality and reducing
    space requirements.

    "L-1's J1000 document authentication device has proven to be an
    extremely robust solution for rapid ID collection and authentication,"
    said Scott McCallum of the Pinellas County Sherriff's Department. "The
    ease of use and scalability of the J1000 unit allows for simple
    deployment in a variety of environments to include mobile
    applications."

    Twenty one U.S. States currently use L-1's secure credentialing
    solutions. ID Suite offers the most complete and advanced drivers'
    license/ID template database for adjudication of identity credentials
    using automated data and image analysis. The solution includes image
    and demographic identity data capture for issuance processing,
    auditing and data mining, as well as a controlled process for the
    capture, scanning, vetting, storage, reporting and analysis of
    identity data. ID Suite seamlessly integrates within existing data
    infrastructures and offers the flexibility to add multiple biometrics.

    Deployed in over 20 countries' border crossings today, L-1 border
    management applications provide enhanced border security, faster
    passenger processing and better customer service. ID Suite offers a
    smaller and lighter e-passport reader specifically designed for border
    control with enhanced RFID functionality for faster and more accurate
    reads of both RFID and non-RFID passports, improved usability and
    document handling to support new e-passports for global identity
    verification at all international borders and advanced e-passport
    capabilities, such as automatic document detection and an expanded
    passport document database. ID Suite can be easily integrated with
    additional security layers based on L-1 leading multi-biometric
    capabilities.
