The COVID-19 pandemic has boosted demand for hygienic, secure and safe tech solutions from businesses of all types and sizes, placing Telefonica at the forefront in the Spanish anti-Covid tech market.
Our collaboration with IDEMIA allows us to continue advancing in the development of solutions in the security area. We are delighted to add their MorphoWave technology to our innovation catalog to offer this new access control to our customers, who will benefit from cutting-edge technology that will allow them to access their facilities more quickly and safely.
MorphoWave is a cutting-edge frictionless ID technology, and we are very proud of our partnership with Telefónica and their pursuit of innovative products. This is a testament of the trust they have in us and one we value greatly.
Our way of living has been drastically impacted because of Covid-19, creating completely new requirements when it comes to accessing public or private spaces. We are delighted to see Telefónica endorsing MorphoWave terminals within it’s premises and as a part of their business portfolio and expansion into the Spanish market thanks to Telefonica’s TIS division.
