“At IDEMIA, we make it our mission to protect people and places with innovative and convenient solutions so that security doesn't get in the way of enjoying free time. This is what we are doing for millions of Americans already using the TSA Pre✓® program to travel safely,” said Didier Lamouche, CEO of IDEMIA, the company that provides IdentoGO services. “We are very excited to partner with such a progressive sports organization in technology to bring 49ers fans TSA Precheck and outfit Levi’s® Stadium with cutting-edge biometric solutions to help them better serve their fans.”
Through innovative pilot programs focused on leveraging IdentoGO’s wide-ranging technology, the 49ers will test options to streamline fan entrance into Levi’s® Stadium, enhance the fan experience inside the stadium, and look at the implementation of biometrics at point of sale.
“Being located in Silicon Valley mandated that our organization have a close relationship with pioneering technology companies and IDEMIA certainly delivers on that characterization,” said Brent Schoeb, 49ers Vice President of corporate partnerships. “The launch of their TSA Precheck enrollment for 49ers fans who visit Levi’s® Stadium is just the beginning of our work with them as we work to further enhance the guest experience at Levi’s® Stadium.”
