Precise Biometrics came in first place in the global SIMagine competition, held annually at the GSMA World Mobile Congress.
The biometric vendor won for a mobile aviation solution based on Precise Match-on-SIM and enables fast lane service using fingerprint recognition and mobile phones. Precise Biometrics presented a solution for smart travel, BioXpress – The Queue-less Travel Experience.
BioXpress uses Precise Match-on-Card for identity authentication at airports through the SIM card and Near Field Communication. The system enables remote ticket purchase, automatic baggage drop, self-service boarding and baggage reconciliation. All these services are secured by automated match-on-card biometric verification to enable an automated passenger flow.
SIMagine is a global competition focusing on new solutions for mobile communication and Java cards. Gemalto, Sun Microsystems and Samsung arrange the competition. Last year, Precise Biometrics came in second place with their solution Precise Match-on-SIM, which enables secure and easy authentication to any high value transaction using a mobile phone.
