RETURN TO BLOG LISTINGSHamad International Airport (HIA) is the main airport serving Qatar. It is located in the capital city of Doha and is a hub for Qatar Airways, the national carrier. HIA is one of the busiest airports in the world, handling over 50 million passengers annually. HIA is known for its state-of-the-art facilities and amenities, which include a world-class duty-free shopping area, a luxurious spa, and a swimming pool. The airport also has its own Qatar Airways Museum, which houses a collection of artefacts and memorabilia from the airline's history. In terms of passenger satisfaction, HIA consistently ranks among the best airports in the world. In 2019, it was named the "World's Best Airport" by the Airports Council International.
The HIA stepped up security by implementing an access control system that uses badge readers, biometric fingerprint readers, and is integrated with their management system.
TBS developed a module to parse biometric fingerprint data in WSQ format, and also created a Swagger Interface to accommodate this integration.
TBS biometric fingerprint readers are installed on dual height pedestals at all HIA access control point gates to accurately identify individuals by their unique fingerprints.
Project description
The new system is integrated with their existing management
The new access control system from Nedap & TBS is the perfect solution for the needs of Hamad International Airport. The new system is integrated with their existing management system. As soon as a badge is printed by their management system all cardholder data is automatically pushed to the new Nedap/TBS solution. The new Swagger Interface makes it easy to accommodate this integration, and the module - also newly developed – to parse the biometric fingerprint data ensures that all data is accurately transferred.
When security matters
The customer chose TBS because of TBS’s reputation for providing high-quality products and excellent customer service. The customer was also impressed with the TBS 2D+HD biometric fingerprint readers, which were installed on dual height pedestals at all HIA Access Control Point Gates. The readers were integrated with Nedap ACS controllers and provided the perfect solution for the customer's needs. The design, installation and challenging high-quality integration were implemented by the systems integrator Lysys Qatar W.L.L.
Quality you can count on
The customer chose TBS because of its product's quality and ability to develop the required components to fulfil the integration requirements. TBS stood out from the competition because it was the only one with a high-quality solution
