Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
The Able Security group has deployed a facial recognition system in the Northern Territory parliament building in Darwin in what the company believes to be a first in biometric security access for an Australian parliamentary building.
The Queensland company has installed “Fastpass”
3D facial recognition readers and EnrolCam from US manufacturer L1
Identity Solutions, formerly Bioscrypt.
Able’s managing director, Trevor May, said the NT Parliament wanted a
non intrusive biometric authentication solution as an added layer of
security to complement the existing proximity card access control
platform.
May said the parliament’s director of security had been impressed by
the demonstration of the Bioscrypt system at a security industry event
and, he added, “we have received favourable feedback since the system
was installed about both its speed and accuracy.”
According to May, Bioscrypt is the only facial recognition system
available in Australia with a “proven international track record in a
variety of industries, from immigration authorities to banking and
finance.”
Able was contracted to supply the $80,000 system by Honeywell
Automation & Control Solutions, who manage the NT Parliament
building and provide electronic security for the parliament.
