AMAG Technology and SMI Forge Partnership to Provide Mobile Security
Torrance, CA, August 6, 2007
– AMAG Technology announces a partnership
with Smart Media Innovations (SMI). SMI products are used to verify that a card
is valid or to identify the individual cardholder using data, images and other biometrics.
When integrated with AMAG Technology’s Symmetry Security Management System (SMS),
a mobile dimension is added to the SMS using Pocket PC based PDAs to eliminate physical
constraints.
The SMI product line integrates with existing databases providing a simple upgrade to a legacy system. It also provides a stand-alone mobile mustering system.
SMI’s product line provides a database connection with a pre-loaded link to Symmetry.
No data duplication is necessary as it acts as a gateway. It only needs a network
link to operate to accommodate any size database.
Users can download
data on a PDA with virtually any identity card. Any card which contains a number
by which data can be indexed can be utilized. This includes Prox, Bar Code, MagStripe,
MIFARE, DESFIRE and iCLASS. The software is installed right on the PDA.
When a card is presented, the card number is read and transmitted wirelessly to
SMI Host. The details associated with that individual are then transmitted back
to the PDA and displayed. The audit file is updated automatically. The SMI Host
has its own image compression facility – ensuring the transfer time is kept to a
minimum.
“The Symmetry/SMI product combination is the perfect solution for roving security
officers who need to validate people or assets such as on a construction site or
in a vehicle,” said AMAG Technology, Vice President of Sales, Matt Barnette.
Mobile Mustering is another product offering available from SMI when integrated
with Symmetry SMS.
