Sagem Défense Sécurité chosen by Kingdom of Bahrain
Paris, France
This new system will allow the government to enrol resident workers upon arrival in the country in order to issue them in a one-step process a residency and work permit all on one card, thus lightening the administrative workload. The program is part of the kingdom's job market reform, which aims to reduce the number of illegal workers.
As part of the contract, Sagem Défense Sécurité provides the following:
• An Automated Fingerprint Identification System
• A main control center
• A back-up center
• Acquisition stations to record data from resident workers upon arrival
Sagem Défense Sécurité also provides the portable Morpho RapID terminals that enables the labour market and reform authorities(LMRA) in charge of the program to identify illegal workers. Morpho RapID's fingerprint sensor and secure wireless connection will ensure real-time authentication of card holders.
