OTI Receives $6 Million Order in Support of Next Stage Expansion of National eID Program

  • Jun 01, 2011

On Track Innovations Ltd. (OTI), a provider of contactless smart card solutions, has received a new $6 million order, and advance payment for such order, in support of the next stage expansion of a national ID program. The company expects revenues from the order to be recognized this year.

The new order is in support of an existing ID project announced last year, which is part of the country's effort to modernize and improve the security of its electronic ID cards. Last year, OTI successfully supplied its end-to-end turnkey solution based on its proprietary eID Magna platform in support of the nationwide infrastructure setup. The system includes both stationary and mobile stations for data enrollment and card issuance, the creation of a central national registry database, as well as the provision of contactless, highly-secured smart ID cards and a Biometric Automatic Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS), to detect and prevent double registration attempts by the same ID applicant.

OTI's secured ID solution supports both online and offline communication, thereby allowing every citizen, living in cities and rural areas, to apply for an ID card regardless of the area's communication infrastructure. The user-friendly solution is designed to provide maximum accuracy and security.

"We are proud to be the technology and implementation partner of our governmental client's national ID system," said Oded Bashan, chairman and CEO of OTI. "The level of professionalism and execution capabilities demonstrated by the government has been second to none. Together, we were able to meet the strict implementation timeline, allowing for the continuation of the project."

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
