Biometrics 2000 Corporation (BIO), a US developer of access control devices, has entered into an international distribution agreement with Saudi Operations and Maintenance Company (SOMC).
The agreement gives SOMC the right to distribute BIO products and services in 11 countries throughout the Middle East, including Bahrain, Cyrus, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Syria and Yemen. SOMC will be responsible for marketing in the Middle East region, and will employ its regional sales forces to sell BIO product.
BIO develops identification and security products that recognize people through their unique characteristics such as fingerprints. Fingerprint readers solve the significant problems associated with traditional access methods from a security standpoint. Fingerprint technology also will be preferred in the future over other methods such as smart cards, magnetic stripe cards and conventional keys all of which can be lost or stolen.
SOMC is a Riyadh-based company owned and operated by Khalid Bin Fahd Al-Faisal. It is active in integrating and operating high tech security and information system solutions in Saudi Arabia. — (menareport.com)
