March 2010 by Marc Jacob
Sagem Sécurité (Safran group) has been chosen to provide a key security solution for the
Minas Gerais State Administrative Center (Cidade Administrativa) in the capital city of Belo
Horizonte, a new high-tech building designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer. In partnership
with Task Sistemas, Sagem Sécurité will supply a large-scale access control system
comprising some 300 latest-generation MorphoAccess™ 120 biometric terminals.
The cutting-edge MorphoAccess™ 120 employs algorithms developed by Sagem Sécurité,
recognized worldwide for their high performance and accuracy. They will be used to ensure
secure access to the key building entrances, using advanced fingerprint recognition
technology, thus ensuring the security of critical government information.
“The Cidade Administrativa is an avant-garde building with sophisticated infrastructures and
equipment, and naturally demanded the best biometric technology on the market,” said
François Perrachon, Senior VP, Sales Development at Sagem Sécurité. “This latest contract
confirms the vast potential of our biometric terminals in the Brazilian market, and also
reflects our commitment to establishing a position as a major player in the country.”
With more than 33,000 terminals already installed in Brazil, Sagem Sécurité once again
demonstrates its regional leadership in providing security solutions for buildings, goods and
people.
