In The Boardroom With...
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 are the trusted leader in providing solutions for the delivery of secure identity. Our focus is on creating customer value through identity-based solutions that apply to either physical or logical access, card issuance, asset and animal identification, as well as embedded technology solutions that are used by a worldwide network of development and integration partners for a broad variety of applications.
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.
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.
We do have a broad portfolio of offerings. In the past year we've been working hard on making products interoperable so that we can deliver total solutions to our customers. You mentioned the broad categories, we tend to think of products in a matrix that includes four columns (Intrusion, Fire, Access, and Video) and three rows (high end, mid tier, and mass market). One of our goals is to have industry leading product solutions in each of the categories.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
