We have 450 mobile network operator customers and our solutions enable about 1.8 billion individuals all over the world to use mobile devices and services securely and conveniently. Gemalto is the world’s leading supplier of secure personal devices to wireless operators, and we also provide software and services to the mobile industry.
Gemalto is the world’s leading supplier of government e-credentials, such as the electronic passport, or epassport. The United States and many other countries are now putting a smart card computer chip in passports to make them virtually impossible to counterfeit, and to make it much harder for anyone to alter and use someone else’s passport. Gemalto also provides many other government-issued e-credentials such as driver licenses, identity cards and electronic health cards.
We sell our products to both PC OEMs and enterprises. Today, our largest PC OEM customer is Dell. Last year we also partnered with Acer, the world’s third-largest PC vendor, which has elected to bundle our client software on several PC models and helped us greatly expand our penetration into Asia. Even though this has been a tough year for the PC industry, we’ve been able to substantially grow our OEM revenue and our software footprint through the distribution per quarter of four to five million copies of our software.
While data protection is a high priority for almost every enterprise, the primary driving factor for full disk encryption has been the worldwide proliferation of data protection laws and regulations. As high profile data breaches have sky rocketed in the past few years, many countries have passed stringent data protection laws calling for the encryption of all sensitive data on customers, users, transactions, health records, etc.
It is a very exciting time for ICOP. Last month, we entered into a five-year agreement to enable Raytheon to market ICOP’s industry-leading mobile video solutions to its public safety, transportation and military customers in the US and around the world. Our partnership with Raytheon positions us, together, as the largest provider of mobile video systems.
Alpha Technologies Ltd. is an established leader in the design and manufacture of powering solutions for the Telecom, CATV ( Canada ), Traffic, Security, Medical, Industrial, and Renewable Energy industries. The company offers a broad portfolio of high-quality, feature-rich solutions that can be customized to suit almost any application and environment offering the highest performance and best value in the industry.
Gemalto is the world's largest epassport supplier, according to the Keesing Journal of Identity. We provide U.S. epassports, for example, but also do many types of other programs all over the world such as supplying national e-ID cards for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, serving as the prime contractor for the Electronic Health Card program in Gabon and providing driver's licenses in Queensland, Australia.
A number of ASSA ABLOY Group brands have been around since the 19th century and were early innovators in the field of key systems. In fact, Linus Yale, Jr.—the progenitor of YALE Commercial Locks and Hardware—was the inventor of the pin and tumbler lock that is still the basis of today’s cylinder locks.
Our goal is to develop products that exceed industry standards and offer great value to end-users. This means when they install one of our products, it will withstand real life abuse and deliver dependable security.
We organize our business units in North America around our three major markets, Telecom, Security and Secure Transactions, as we do everywhere in the world. One program that contributed to our success is the ongoing U.S. epassport program. Another element to growth in North America is the migration of all Canadian banking cards to chip and PIN, which are provided in part by Gemalto.
Contactless payment, smart EMV credit/debit cards and open loop contactless transport are our most important target markets today. Examples of contactless payment include American Express ExpressPay, Chase blink, MasterCard PayPass and Visa payWave.
We developed miniature, very low cost, battery-powered wireless circuits and software, which make up, essentially a tiny wireless computer. We call that computer Dot, and it fits in a card that transmits locally around the enterprise on-command, lasting years and costing only a few dollars to make.
The biggest win of the year was signing an OEM agreement with Tyco Safety Products to sell SmartTrack in Europe, the Mid-East and Africa . Deliveries will begin in early 2010. The Tyco contract is expected to double our annual sales of SmartTrack systems.
PERSONA offers both stand-alone and hardwired intelligent access control solutions. To fully understand what that means, it helps to have some background information on the various access control technologies. Many facilities have security needs that exceed the capabilities and practicality of traditional mechanical lock and key systems.
TI’s RF360 is the first smart integrated circuit platform designed and developed specifically to meet the ever-changing demands of secure contactless applications including those in the government electronic identification market.
PSA provides multiple benefits to security integrators that are not found in their entirety elsewhere. Benefits include top notch training, 200 cutting edge physical security hardware and software solutions, generous credit lines, extended terms.
The smart card market is expected to be impacted by the broadening financial markets crisis and global economic downturn, but to a lesser extent than other technology sectors.
Security is broken, and the marketplace is crying out for a new approach to address a problem that is growing in both complexity and risk annually.
