SAFR From RealNetworks Signs Agreement With Mobile Carrier NTT Docomo
SAFR from RealNetworks Inc., a facial recognition platform for live video, has signed a reseller agreement with NTT Docomo, Japan's largest mobile carrier, to offer SAFR’s AI-based facial recognition software. Both companies have previously worked together to implement access control and security solutions for a large facility, a hospital and a robot. With the power of NTT Docomo’s 5G infrastructure and SAFR facial recognition, the companies plan to accelerate further enterprise security and access control deployments based on the new agreement.
SAFR’s efficient design yields high speed results, enabling more simultaneous face detections over low-latency 5G networks. SAFR’s small footprint also enables it to be installed on less costly edge compute platforms used for a variety of solutions including access control, watchlist-based surveillance, business intelligence and demographic analysis. Age, gender and sentiment analysis can provide real-time metrics to organizations without storing any personal identifiable information. The solution can be deployed as part of a multi-factor authentication solution as well as facilitate online payment processing and similar use cases.
