Safeguarding Fiber Optic Networks: The Power of Real-Time Monitoring and AI

Posted by Kelly Kipferl on Posted in Biometrics, Government, Security Tagged , , , , , ,

In our increasingly connected world, fiber optic networks have become the backbone of communication systems, enabling seamless data transmission and connectivity. However, these networks are vulnerable to a range of threats.

Our industry-first, NEC Fiber Optic Smart Sensing (FOSS) solutions provide a way to protect network investments and reduce maintenance costs related to repairs and operational efficiency.

Watch the video to learn how to unlock the full potential of your fiber optic networks with NEC FOSS.

The NEC FOSS solutions combine our 20+ years of experience in transoceanic fiber optic transmission, our expertise with distributed acoustic sensing and advanced machine learning (ML)-based AI technologies to provide unobtrusive, low-maintenance detection capabilities.

Harnessing the Power of Distributed Acoustic Sensing
Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) is a cutting-edge technology that utilizes fiber optic cables themselves as sensors to detect and locate physical disturbances along their length. This enables real-time monitoring of the network’s surroundings, allowing for immediate responses to potential threats.

Real-Time Monitoring with AI and ML
While DAS captures a wealth of data, its true potential is unlocked when combined with artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. AI and ML can process the massive amounts of data generated by DAS systems and identify patterns indicative of potential hazards.

Benefits of Using FOSS:
1. Rapid Threat Detection
2. Cost Efficiency
3. Advanced Fiber Locating
4. Accurate Cable Route Mapping

Solve Crime, Detect & Prevent Fraud with NeoFace® Reveal

Posted by John Dowden on Posted in Biometrics, Government, Law Enforcement Tagged , , , , , , , ,

The facial recognition market is predicted to experience a remarkable compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.13% from 2023 to 2030. The market was worth $5.8 billion USD in 2022 and is expected to surpass $16.5 billion USD by 2030, according to Reports Insights Consulting.[1]

Facial recognition has become an essential technology for many government agencies to support criminal investigations and to detect and prevent fraud for government benefits and credentials.

For more than 32 years, NEC has been a leader in facial recognition technology. We’re proud to offer NeoFace® Reveal, an easy and effective facial recognition application providing law enforcement, crime laboratories, and civil applicant processing agencies the ability to recognize facial images (ranging from good to very poor quality) by performing either a one-to-many (1:N) search or one-to-one (1:1) match against a database of thousands to millions of database records. NeoFace Reveal is the software solution for questions of identity for identification, investigation and verification use cases.

The strength of NEC’s NeoFace technology lies in its tolerance of poor quality as well as demographic diversity, whether age, gender, or race. Highly compressed surveillance videos and facial images, previously of little or no value, are now usable, leading to higher rates of identification. NeoFace facial recognition technology has been extensively and repeatedly benchmark tested by NIST[2] since 2009 and consistently achieves a first place ranking regarding search accuracy within the biometric industry!

Digital Government Services Transformed with Digital Identity Services

Posted by Gary Lac on Posted in Biometrics, Digital ID, Government, Security Tagged , , , , ,

Identity theft resulted in a staggering $56 billion in losses in 2020, according to the Federal Trade Commission.

Today, Decentralized Identity (DID) services have evolved into a disruptive technology redefining how we verify identities. This change in thinking, particularly within government services, offers a viable replacement for traditional identity verification methods with streamlined, secure alternatives.

Download our new thought leadership paper, Digital Government Services Transformed with Digital Identity Services, to learn why sharing trusted identity data across government and commercial ecosystems can dramatically enhance traditional identity verification and service efficiency.

NEC’s cloud-based Digital IDs are commercially focused and relevant for digital services. Leveraging DIDs that are highly interoperable with digital services and adding verified trusted identity data from government sources will enable a vibrant ecosystem for digital identities.

Download this paper to explore the latest innovations and why NEC is investing in DIDs. Or connect with an NEC expert directly by filling out the form below. Also, follow us on LinkedIn, www.linkedin.com/company/nec-corporation-of-america/ to keep us with our latest announcements.
