Czech border police are expanding the EasyGO project at Prague's Václav Havel airport by an additional 10 eGates. After successfully implementing the first automated border control gates since the end of 2011, secunet has won the follow-on order in conjunction with its Czech partner Vitkovice IT Solutions (VITSOL).The EasyGo border control solution will secure the external borders of the Schengen area in future. According to secunet, since 15 July, six additional eGates have become available in the arrivals area and from 20 July a further four have been in operation for passengers in the departures area of Prague airport. secunet is providing the easygates as well as the entire infrastructure, including the Terminal Control Center, bioserver and the maintenance of ongoing operations for the next few years. For several years, Prague airport has registered a surge in passenger numbers. "By choosing the solution from VITSOL/secunet we will continue using a tried and tested system, allowing us to offer our international guests state-of-the-art technology and a high level of security," says Petr Malovec, head of the National Border Situation Centre at the Czech Border Police. "We are happy to base our systems on the German EasyPASS border control system, which has proven its worth with four million passenger crossings up to July 2015."
