1 Getting Started
As the Cruise Industry continues to grow and cruise ships become larger, our customers are looking for new ways to process passengers, crew members, and visitors embarking and disembarking the ship. The embarking and disembarking is perform at the ships gangway and this is a mandatory security process.
The regular operation consists of a fixed workstation connected to the ship's network. If there is a need to embark or disembark passengers more quickly, the IT Officer would need to set up an additional workstation and scanner and connect it to the network. Challenges may include limited space at the gangway for additional workstations, or they may not have enough power or network ports.
With the Mobile Gateway Security option, this allows Security Officers a way to supplement the embarkation and disembarkation of passengers without the need to set up an additional workstation, scanner, power, and wired network access.
The following sections describe the usage of the Mobile Gateway Security application on mobile devices.
