ConnectedZone is a security and surveillance system for public environments. The system connects the user’s mobile with a bus shelter equipped with technical solutions that make it possible to quickly alert both in and near the bus shelter if an emergency situation should arise. In order to ensure the users’ identity, Freja eID+ will be used.
ConnectedZone is a unique security concept for smart cities developed by Teleste, a global provider of video surveillance and network services for public environments and public transport. ConnectedZone combines the user’s mobile phone with a connected digital two-way screen, which allows the system’s security operators to communicate with the bus shelter in a unique way to inform and prevent dangerous situations.
Freja eID+ is used to ensure the user’s identity, partly for smoother registration but also to avoid rogue alarm calls. Freja eID+ is the only mobile e-ID that has been approved for the governmental quality mark Svensk e-legitimation.
Stig Waldemarsson, Director Teleste VSI comments:
“The fast-growing e-identification service Freja eID coincides well with Teleste’s vision for the launch of ConnectedZone. Freja eID, as an independent e-identification service, has no special interests besides providing electronic identification, which makes them a good and reliable partner.”
Johan Henrikson, CEO Verisec comments:
“That electronic identity documents are used to make public environments in the physical world safer for us who reside there testifies to how the use of eID:s will increase as society becomes more digitalised. We have only seen the beginning of developments in smart cities, and everything speaks for this area becoming yet another driver for the need for a modern eID like Freja eID.”
