Next Generation Public Safety technologies and applications that
are defining the future of the industry. GSA 2011 is the ideal
forum and platform for policy-makers across Asia Pacific to discuss

major industry player."
Transforming Next Generation Public Safety
Technologies on show range from the latest in security screening to
biometrics, land, air and sea security solutions, internet and
computer security, and solutions to counter Chemical Biological
Radioactive and Nuclear (CBRN) threats. According to vendors
participating at GSA 2011, some of their latest solutions will see
the global launch at this year's event. These include cutting-edge
commercially available solutions for enforcement agencies as well
as analysts and profiling solutions for researchers and the
intelligence communities.
Motorola Solutions, a leading provider of business and
mission-critical communication systems and services, will feature
their Next Generation Public Safety solutions such as Real-Time
Video Intelligence which combines advanced new technology
capabilities to provide real-time sharing of voice, data and video
communications for public safety professionals.
Securing Asia Pacific's Air Travel
Identity fraud and air travel security have been a major issue for
governments worldwide. Enforcement agencies are today combining
sophisticated border security management systems with biometrics,
and credential management solutions to better address identity
authentication, fraud, air travel security, and profiling.
SITA, the world's leading specialist in air transport
communications and information technology (IT) solutions will
unveil its iBorders BioThenticate solution at GSA 2011. The new
biometric identity and credential management system, using unique
biometric characteristics - such as fingerprints, face and retinal
images combined with risk analysis of biographic data (Passenger
Name Record - PNR; Advanced Passenger Information System APIS; APP)
into a single security framework - to accurately identify and
verify each personnel concerning their right to be on a plane or
any other mode of transport.
According to Sean Farrell SITA's Portfolio Director for Biometrics,
"Asia is leading the world in the implementation of biometrics to
improve border security, so it is appropriate that we are here in
Singapore to discuss global security issues. The trend is to
combine the use of biometrics with sophisticated risk analysis
which based on data provided by airlines and other carriers
to
governments, will enhance security."
He also added that sophisticated air border management systems that
use biometrics and extensive passenger data analysis are currently
being deployed with great success by governments and agencies in
the region. The benefits of such solutions are two-fold; security
at the border is improved and cross border traffic is processed
faster. "It is important to invest now in this technology and to
provide travelers with safer and smoother international travel," he
added.
"GSA 2011 is uniquely positioned to be the premier forum and
showcase for Homeland Security professionals from around the world,
especially the Asia Pacific region. Homeland Security is no longer
about individual countries or agencies but a sophisticated network
of partnerships, latest technologies and pro-active monitoring and
management. Technology enables agencies and professionals to stay
ahead. At GSA 2011 the latest solutions at the forefront of current
technology will be on show to the World," concluded Andrew
Marriott.
