Gemalto to supply Entebbe Airport eKiosks
Gemalto, in cooperation with
local partner SCINTL, has been awarded the contract for the supply of a Border
Management System (BMS) (https://bit.ly/2H8TvcT) including airport self-service
eKiosks (https://bit.ly/2D7BxDE) at Entebbe Airport, Uganda, creating a faster
and more convenient border-crossing experience for travelers and strengthening
homeland security.
The said e-Immigration solution
uses Gemalto’s state-of-the-art fingerprint and facial recognition technology,
combined with a passport scan to ensure swift and accurate identification of
passengers leaving the country.
It’s built on the Gemalto Visa
Management System (VMS) that was first deployed in 2014 by the Directorate of
Citizenship and Immigration Control (DCIC), part of Uganda’s Ministry of
Internal Affairs.
Entebbe, servicing Uganda’s
capital, Kampala, welcomed over 1.5 million travelers in 2017, and the new
eKiosks will further boost its capacity to handle the growing number of
business and leisure visitors heading to Uganda, a progressive east African
state with a population of over 40 million.
Once implementation of the
e-Immigration solution is complete in 2019, passengers will enjoy the option of
a rapid, self-guided pathway through border control, whilst authorities are
provided with comprehensive, real-time data on departures from Uganda.
