In order to combat terrorism and criminals, some countries have mandated SIM card registration with real name and biological information. Tripod provides customized biometric terminals to efficiently assist telecom service.

Mobile phones are still the easiest and deadliest way for terrorists to remotely detonate explosives. In order to curb this deadly use of mobile telephony, a number of countries in Africa, the Middle East and South Asia have started requiring their citizens to register their KYC details like valid ID, photo and biometric data before activation of mobile phone SIM cards.
