RFID partnered with facial recognition system  
Monday August 25, 2008

RFID ProSolutions and American RFID Solutions have announced a strategic reseller agreement for the Canadian market, aiming to partner RFID technology with biometrics.

RFID ProSolutions, Canadian RFID technology consulting and engineering firm, and American RFID Solutions, manufacturer and solution provider, have announced a strategic reseller agreement for the distribution of TES (Trusted eSentry Security), a new biometric facial recognition system in Canada.

New heights
TES is a biometric/RFID security system that allows for the automatic identification of individuals using a combination of facial recognition and HF or UHF RFID technology (access cards). According to Harold Clampitt, CEO & Founder of American RFID Solutions, "The ID cards are already used to control access to restricted areas but the addition of a second reading of distinctive authenticity through biometric recognition has taken security to new heights."

"There is no central data base that can cause accusations of copying or stealing information," says Andre Lacaille, President of RFID ProSolutions. "Systems that require prints are known for leaving evidence behind because of the physical contact that is required and therefore the information can be copied."

Best in show
The system was recognised earlier this year as a Best in Show finalist for the RFID Journal Awards in Las Vegas and has a read rate of 99.999999% which makes it one of the most secure in the world. The system works independently or through a network to interface with existing systems to form an increased secured perimeter.
