The RAPIDGate Program Enhances Security at Naval Air Facility El Centro
PORTLAND, Ore.-(Business Wire)-September 29, 2009 - Naval Air Facility El Centro has implemented the RAPIDGate® Program to increase security and streamline access for the thousands of vendors, suppliers, service providers and contractors who access the base. The RAPIDGate Program, a product of Portland, OR-based Eid Passport, Inc., is an identity management and access control program. The program includes company enrollment; employee registration; employment status validation; identity authentication; background screening; biometric verification; and entry authorization for vendor, supplier, service provider and contractor employees that are not authorized a Common Access Card (CAC).

“We are very excited to implement the RAPIDGate Program at Naval Air Facility El Centro,” said Eid Passport CEO Steve Larson. “With the facility operating two runways and holding many trainings and events throughout the year, security and mission success is of utmost importance.
