Philippine E-Gate System has Received High Praise

MiTAC Information Technology Corp. formed a joint venture with Ascent Solutions for the procurement “Electronic Gate（E-Gate）System -Supply, Delivery, Installation, Testing and Commissioning”, and successfully exported Taiwan experience to the Philippines. E-Gate was designed with facial recognition, biometric scanning, bar code reading, and smart card recognition all rolled into one system, and connected with database of immigration blacklist, watch list and hold departure list etc. to help immigration officers to detect passengers with derogatory records. E-Gate relieves passengers queuing in manual counters as it would cut processing time of passengers from the present 45 seconds to just 8 to 15 seconds. Also it strengthens the border and aviation security in the region. (video source: PTV;ABS-CBN; Bureau of Immigration, Philippines)
