Guys, please be rational about why IRIS awarded the contract in the first place.
When IRIS created the world’s first ePassport in collaboration with the Immigration Department of Malaysia in 1998, it necessitated the introduction and deployment of the eGates to read and verify ePassports via traveler thumbprint. Today, 24 years later, NEC will be providing the NEC ABIS and NEC e-Gate systems, featuring highly accurate and reliable multi-modal biometrics authentication, as one of the key technology partners subcontracted for the NIISe project.
