De La Rue SIPS(TM) 500 Delivers Fully Integrated Passport and ePassport Personalisation
LONDON, May 22 -- De La Rue Identity Systems announces the SIPS(TM) 500 series - a unique,
automated passport personalisation solution. The SIPS(TM) 500 series complements De La Rue's range of passports and ePassports, MIDIS(TM) flexible issuing system and unique MLIS(TM) and SHIELD(TM) secure laminates, providing governments with a one-stop-shop for the latest end-to-end integrated secure passport and ePassport solutions. The SIPS(TM) 500 (for ICAO standard machine readable passports) and the SIPS(TM) 500e (for ePassports) have been developed with De La Rue's experience of over 50 successful secure government identification schemes and state-of-the-art research and development.
The flexible, modular design of SIPS(TM) 500 and SIPS(TM) 500e enables governments to choose a system perfectly suited to national requirements. It can be integrated with the MIDIS(TM) issuing system or governments' existing technologies. The full range of passports, from machine readable 32-page books up to 64-page ePassports, can be handled and personalised automatically, to produce up to 60 finished documents per hour. For ongoing efficiency and minimised support costs, SIPS(TM) 500 offers ease of access, low maintenance and a simple upgrade path.
SIPS(TM) 500 also offers a new standard in security for both conventional and ePassports. Sophisticated tracking and audit control features ensure that secure personalisation film and passports are recorded and tracked as the passport moves through the system. This provides the reassurance that every passport a government issues is a unique document, properly assigned to the correct individual.
