Enhancing border security at Abu Samra Border with Nedap’s advanced UHF RFID solutions

Ministry of Interior and the Abu Samra Border

The Abu Samra Border is a critical checkpoint in Qatar, managed by the Ministry of Interior. As a major entry point, it experiences high volumes of traffic, necessitating efficient and secure vehicle identification for employees and authorized personnel.

Issues with manual vehicle access

Previously, the border relied on manual vehicle methods, which were not only time-consuming but also prone to errors. Delays during rush hours and occasional loss of records at the gates created significant inefficiencies and security concerns. The Ministry of Interior sought a reliable solution to automate the process, ensuring accurate and swift vehicle access control.

UHF RFID technology for automatic vehicle access

To address these challenges, the Ministry of Interior’s security professionals selected Nedap’s UHF RFID readers and Combi Card UHF – HID iCLASS for vehicle identification at the border. They implemented Nedap’s AEOS access control platform, known for its advanced features and robust performance. AEOS provides a flexible and scalable platform that integrates seamlessly with various security technologies.

Nedap’s UHF RFID readers are part of the uPASS product portfolio, designed for reliable and long-range vehicle identification. This portfolio includes a range of readers and complementary products, recognized for their high accuracy and efficiency.

By combining the AEOS platform with the uPASS product portfolio, the Ministry of Interior achieved a comprehensive and efficient vehicle identification system. This solution enabled automatic identification of vehicles from a distance, significantly speeding up the access control process and enhancing overall security at the border.

MANNAI TRADING Co. W.L.L., the local partner, played a pivotal role in deploying Nedap’s solutions. They installed UHF RFID readers at key points and issued Combi Card UHF – HID iCLASS cards to authorized personnel.
