ASK to deliver millions of e-passports to Greek Authorities

ASK has announced that its ePassport technology has been selected by Toppan, the current provider of the personalization solution to the Greek Authorities. This agreement involves several millions of passports to be delivered starting June 2006.

‘In addition to the GPO selection for the first phase of the US electronic passport, Toppan’s decision to select ASK technology demonstrates the outstanding performance and innovation of our Smart Paper ID technology,’ said Amand Cochet, corporate VP sales.  

ASK technology of silver ink printed antenna and direct chip embedding has been validated over several years in other applications including mass transit and RFID. Its Smart Paper ID solution adapted for ePassport is currently under qualification in many other projects around the world.
