The rapid advances in technology are expected to induce a shift toward other biometric technologies such as facial recognition. SITA, an air transport solution provider that is based in Geneva, Switzerland, has upgraded automated passport control (APC) kiosks in Orlando International Airport with facial recognition technology. The upgrade was implemented to comply with new regulations from the US Customs and Border Protection agency.
New regulations mandate that American airports should equip their APC kiosks with facial recognition capabilities. In July 2015, Japanese company NEC received a contract to deploy biometric technology at 14 international airports in Brazil, including Antonio Carlos Jobim International Airport in Rio de Janeiro and Governador André Franco Montoro International Airport in São Paolo.
