NEW YORK, July 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — EyeLock LLC, a leader of iris-based identity authentication solutions, announced today a new partnership with Marubeni America Corporation and Marubeni Metals Corporation, both wholly-owned subsidiaries of Marubeni Corporation, to introduce and distribute the EyeLock technology and access control solutions in the Japanese market as well as expand into Asia and beyond.
The partnership will provide Marubeni the rights to deliver EyeLock’s nano NXT® and EXT™ offerings across their partner base. The combination of these products provides a secure, privacy-friendly solution capable of authenticating up to 20 people per minute with unparalleled accuracy. Additionally, the solution identifies people in real time and at a distance, in indoor and outdoor locations, processing people through doors or checkpoints without delays or backups. The EXT™ device is designed to operate in direct sunlight, snow or rain and temperatures between -40°C to 66°C, facilitating use in a variety of environments including commercial/ enterprise, corrections, data centers, education, financial services, government, healthcare facilities, and hospitality.
