Automated border control systems, commonly called eGates, are automated self-service checkpoints that use the biometric data stored in modern passports or ID cards to verify the identity of those passing through a checkpoint. The most common use for eGates is within passport control at an airport, but eGates are suitable for many more applications.
Handheld eGate user interrogation terminals allow security teams to inspect the ID documents of eGate users and verify their identity and usage history of the eGate system.
The ID registration kiosks allow eGate users to register on the system and verify their identity at their leisure, before entering the eGates themselves, thereby speeding up the process and ensuring less holdup and identification failures.
