Florida adopts GE Security solution with ImageWare's for TWIC

Tuesday, March 11, 2008

GE Security announced the state of Florida has deployed GE’s Identity Commander solution to all 12 deep water seaports and its Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles Tallahassee headquarters as the basis for an operational transit worker identity card system.

In tandem with biometric identity management from San Diego-based ImageWare Systems, Identity Commander is biometric-based in order to be compliant with anticipated federal credentialing programs. GE’s solution delivers biometric enrollment, credential personalization and issuance capabilities.

The statewide solution employs fixed and mobile card readers that have proven to be a challenge elsewhere. Identity Commander conforms to PIV I & II Federal Information Processing Standard 201 (FIPS 201) and the State of Florida’s Uniform Port Access Credential (FUPAC) law (Florida Statute s311.125). [end]
