In the ID and access control
field biometric solutions were

and approved by the International
Telecommunication Union (ITU)

exhibition coloured by future belief and creativity,
mainly based on IP-technology. More than 1000 ex-
hibitors were present to show the latest products and
technology. Being the security industry's first real in-
ternational show on the calendar makes it special, as
it unveils the trends that will shape the year to come.
The buzzword of the show was more than anything
else cloud solutions.
