NEC Corporation of America, the U.S. subsidiary of Japan’s NEC Corp. [NIPNY], has introduced Integra-ID, a next-generation Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS). NEC says its new fingerprint matching software is based on open standards architecture and doesn’t require proprietary hardware and software. NEC says the new system was designed with feed back from law enforcement agencies. The Mississippi Department of Public Safety is the first customer to sign up and deploy Integra-ID, NEC says. The company also says the Atlanta Police Department is also upgrading to Integra-ID, which includes fingerprint and palmprint matching, FastID booking, and livescan technology.
