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.
