Naval Support Activity Monterey (NSAM) has implemented a biometric physical access control system from Oregon-based biometrics developer Eid Passport. The system, called RAPIDGate, is able to take care of enrollment, registration, status validation, identity authentication and background screening in addition to physical access control.
Officials from NSAM are hopeful that their new system will streamline security checks on the grounds. Once employees are properly enrolled they should be given quick access to any of the buildings and sensitive areas at NSAM including the Monterey Postgraduate School, Naval Security Group Detachment, Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center and the NSAM Bay.
