OREANDA-NEWS. June 21, 2011. NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) announced its inaugural participation featuring some of its latest technologies at the  eGov Global Exchange 2011, which kicks off at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore today. The eGov Global Exchange 2011 is held in conjunction with CommunicAsia 2011 and EnterpriseIT2011, part of the Infocomm Media Business Exchange 2011 (imbX 2011) featuring the latest e-Government concepts and solutions offered by the infocomm industry worldwide.

At this exhibition, based on its theme of "Building Safer Cities - using technologies to safeguard lives and property", visitors can walk through a thematic environment of a "safe city", and envisage how NEC’s innovative integrated technologies and solutions can be used and adapted by public and private institutions to enhance the safety and security of countries or businesses, bolster law enforcement, and monitor and manage energy and environmental resources. These real-life applications safeguard:
Physical assets: NEC’s multi-modal biometrics border access control solutions safeguard assets and facilities by enabling control at key access points. The Multi-modal Biometrics Access Control Gate is built on the strength of using multi-modal (Fusion) biometrics in its identification process. This is a new generation of access control security system that can support Fingerprint, Iris & Facial recognition at the same time, making this form of biometric recognition particularly impervious against fraud and identity theft as it guarantees an exceptional level of security and authenticity.

Cyberspace: NEC’s cyber security solutions ensure internet and online security and protects against hacking, data leakage and viral attacks.
Business and work processes: NEC’s case management solutions enable organizations to manage its case operations and to keep pace with process and technology changes such as using voice recognition to expedite turnaround time. (See NEC’s Voice Recognition solution for more details).

People: NEC’s case management solutions ensure safety of the public with secure and safe handling and delivery of food products. NEC has developed an integrated food safety system which is used in the tracking of food manufactured, imported and exported. This system allows for the tracking and management of the quality and availability of food into and out of Singapore. The same system is also being used to track and monitor the health status of animal and plant within Singapore.

Intellectual Property: NEC’s intellectual property solutions facilitate management and employment of IP databases through a single common platform, ensuring that intellectual properties with their unique identities are recorded and maintained accurately to retain their legal rights.

Environmental and energy resources: NEC’s environmental and energy (E&E) solutions are the result of a vision of "smart cities" that uses smart technologies to enable energy conservation. A smart city is a sophisticated combination of ICT and electricity networks that optimizes electricity utilization by exchanging real-time information of electricity among power companies, corporations and homes. NEC’s E&E solutions help companies to monitor and map their progress towards a greener economy and businesses.
NEC is an established IT and network solutions systems integrator and leader in biometrics technologies that develops cutting-edge world-class integrated security solutions and technologies, including multi-biometric identification, access gate, video surveillance and behavior pattern analysis for governments and authorities worldwide. NEC’s fingerprint and facial recognition solutions are recognized as the world’s fastest and most accurate biometric technologies for identification. NEC’s Regional Competency Centre for Public Safety in Singapore was founded in 2010 to empower public institutions and businesses with optimized solutions that protect people and property.
