Endeavoring to prevent terrorist attacks and protect the global transportation network, airport and transportation security must be vigilant, effective and efficient. HID Global’s access control products are in use at many of the world’s busiest international ports. Every port and transportation facility has a unique set of requirements, from the use of multiple types of credentials on one reader to readers that are designed to match the level of security risk, adding PIN and biometric verification. Facility designers are challenged to establish multiple layers of access control into restricted areas while providing a flexible solution that is convenient enough to accommodate large volumes of users. As a certified partner in the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT), the largest and most successful government/private sector partnership to emerge in the wake of 21st century terrorist escalation, HID Global is an active participant in shaping transportation security. The company makes a vital contribution to help secure international borders and ensure the continued free flow of global trade. HID Global aims for excellence in transportation security through our people, processes and technologies. We use innovative applications of experience, technology and expertise to address our customers' mission-critical problems. Solutions for Transit Whether a facility is designed according to the US Government PIV II smart card program for interoperability between buildings or requires a custom-designed solution, HID’s iCLASS® contactless smart card readers are configurable to the most popular cards available today. iCLASS readers are GSA-approved for use on US Government installations within the PIV II program. While programs in other countries may follow the US Government PIV II or develop their own, HID Global is committed to supporting the international effort to secure international ports. HID’s smart card-enabled family of products offers a wide variety of solutions that address multiple layers of security requirements. Add secure credentials to your facility to ensure that only authorized persons have access to your facility. Utilize secure formats, like Corporate 1000, and increase your security by deploying iCLASS cards into your facility today. Also take advantage of multi-technology cards (for instance magnetic strip and iCLASS in one card), which will allow you to use the magnetic strip for legacy applications while you migrate towards secure Contactless iCLASS solutions. Each iCLASS reader provides secure transactions between card and reader, eliminating the possibility of employee data compromise. The readers have an innovative design permitting quick processing of employees with a bright light bar, communicating status along every step of the authentication process. A powerful design has over 2,500 programmable options available to custom tailor the readers to suit even the most demanding projects. HID offers all the secure contactless components and subsystems needed to develop forward-looking public transport solutions. For additional applications, HID Connect Partners integrate HID technology into their products to “do more than open the door”. These include applications like IT logon, cafeteria, biometrics and time and attendance. Visit the HID Connect website at http://hidconnect.com.
