Irving, Texas � April 4, 2017 � NEC Corporation of America (NEC) announced
today that its industry leading biometrics division, widely known for its award-winning suite of facial, fingerprint, palm print and multi-modal
biometrics identification solutions, has rebranded to reflect its expanding market offerings. The rebranded division, NEC Advanced Recognition
Systems, was formerly known as NEC Biometrics Solutions.
The global market for biometric technology, now estimated to exceed $20 billion (USD) over the coming decade, points to continued
proliferation of biometrics technology beyond government and public sectors to airports, critical infrastructure, entertainment, malls,
stadiums, hospitality, financial services and retail markets. Such applications demand convergence of identity with access management and
solutions that offer secure, frictionless access, provide more positive experiences, shorter lines and improved utilization of resources.
Increased analytics can also provide tools for better forecasting and planning and can turn the focus from crime solving to crime
prevention.
"NEC's Advanced Recognition System reflects the company's commitment to this growing market opportunity and our selection of 3 key words,
People, Patterns and Predictions, crystalizes our new mission and aligns our new solutions and services," said Raffie Beroukhim, senior
vice president, Advanced Recognition Systems Division, NEC Corporation of America.
NEC's Advanced Recognition Systems primary mission is to serve citizens and the people who
protect them. Whether keeping the public safe at home, supporting troops overseas, improving the experience of travelers, or providing the
right identity at the right time, our advanced recognition systems supply trusted intelligence to help build safer and brighter
communities.
NEC's cutting-edge Advanced Recognition Systems can also pinpoint valuable patterns for solving crimes, strengthening national security,
identifying trends and efficiencies for tech-savvy businesses. Instead of simply gathering and reporting data, NEC�s technologies analyze
intelligence to predict public safety threats, alert agencies to emerging global concerns, pinpoint potential risks in high-traffic venues,
and provide invaluable input to critical business decisions and help enable their diverse missions.
To meet the demands of this new market, NEC will rely on its local and global systems integration experience, in-house technology and key
third-party partnerships. "We are committed to understanding our client's challenges first, and assist them with a full solution
implementation in comparison to any specific biometric technology or tool," concluded Beroukhim.
