Regula Powers Ecuador's Plan to Modernize Every Border – From Airports to Maritime Ports
RESTON, Va., July 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ecuador's border control authorities have significantly enhanced their identity verification capabilities by deploying a suite of advanced document examination devices from Regula. The nationwide upgrade, supported by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and local partner INSETK, brings automation, precision, and speed to the country's border checkpoints, which collectively process nearly 1.5 million travelers annually. The project is a major step in Ecuador's mission to modernize all land, air, and maritime entry points, including key international airports in Quito and Guayaquil, as well as northern and southern border crossings. These strategic locations now benefit from Regula's advanced forensic devices, which enable fast and reliable detection of fraudulent documents—critical in the fight against identity-related crime. The immigration officers of Ecuador during the training on how to effectively use Regula's devices Closing the gap with a set of forensic devices Previously, document checks at Ecuador border crossings were largely manual and supported by outdated equipment, often handled by just two officers per site. This made the process slow, error-prone, and vulnerable to sophisticated fraud. To address this, Ecuador's border checkpoints were equipped with the following Regula solutions: Regula's video spectral comparators are controlled via Regula Forensic Studio (RFS), a cross-platform software solution for advanced document checks. It enables precise measurements, image comparison, report generation, and scripted workflows for faster, consistent inspections. With RFS, officers can also verify MRZs, RFID chips, barcodes, and IPI—all without extra tools. For deeper document examination, border control officers have real-time access to Regula's Information Reference System (IRS), which provides synchronized reference images and lighting presets for fast, precise comparison of travel documents. RFS also integrates with Regula Document Reader SDK to automate travel document verification and prevent fraud through data cross-verification and robust authenticity checks. Importantly, Regula's software is backed by its proprietary identity document template database—the world's largest—featuring over 15,000 templates from 252 countries and territories , ensuring reliable validation at border checkpoints. Trusted results, faster than ever Since implementing Regula's solutions, Ecuadorian border control authorities have noticed notable improvements: 'Apart from the technology upgrade and fraud detection improvement at the border crossings, our collaboration with Regula demonstrated another success. The project was fulfilled very smoothly. From the beginning, we've received full support from Regula's team—they were always ready to help with any issue, even those caused by users on the ground. It's definitely a level of service that makes a real difference,' says Diego Calderon, Chief Executive Officer at INSETK. 'Border security is where precision, speed, and trust must converge. We're proud to support Ecuador in modernizing its checkpoints with tools that meet forensic standards while being easy to use in the field. This project shows how technology can turn critical inspection tasks from time-consuming to streamlined, without compromising security,' comments Arif Mamedov, CEO at Regula Forensics, Inc.

Keeping Pace with Evolving Security Features: Regula Upgrades the 4306 Comparator for Advanced Forensics
Regula's top-selling video spectral comparator has undergone a major redesign to meet the growing complexity of modern-day document examination. The new modification Regula 4306M incorporates enhanced light sources and a high-resolution camera, ensuring forensic experts can detect even the most intricate protective elements. This upgrade strengthens document examination capabilities across forensic labs, border control points, and law enforcement agencies. RESTON, Va., June 03, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Regula 4306M boasts a wide spectrum of different light sources, including ones new to this model. Among such light modes are: Newly developed multifunctional coaxial light that enables the visualization of embossing, retroreflective security features, and polycarbonate reliefs. Enhanced Anti-Stokes visualization with long exposure that helps forensic experts to detect previously invisible luminescence details, crucial for examining advanced security elements. Intensified diffused white light source to optimize the visualization of DID (diffractive identification) security elements and OVD (optical variable device) effects that change color or image depending on the angle of observation. "Document examination heavily depends on the quality of visualization. The more accurately a forensic device captures fine details, the more effective the analysis becomes. Elements like microprinting, watermarks, and optically variable features are designed to be difficult to replicate, but nothing is impossible for fraudsters. Without the right visualization techniques, even the most experienced experts may miss critical signs of forgery. That is why we invest so much research and development into constantly upgrading our devices," explains Alex Lewanowicz, Director of Hardware Engineering at Regula. To maximize the examination capabilities, Regula 4306M provides: 60x magnification and up to 18,900 ppi for document images thanks to its custom-designed high-resolution built-in 8 MP camera. 40+ light sources covering even the rarest document examination scenarios. 100% LED-based illumination for precision lighting control. 3D visualization for analyzing surface relief, intersecting strokes, and printing techniques. Large-object examination capabilities, allowing experts to inspect not only identity documents and banknotes, but oversized objects as well. The new Regula 4306M is controlled via Regula Forensic Studio operating software, an out-of-the-box cross-platform solution that facilitates document examination and creates a smooth user experience. Powered by Regula Document Reader SDK, this software makes it possible to fully automate ID authenticity verification: the device can recognize the document type and validate all its data from the MRZ, RFID chip, and barcodes in mere seconds with zero risk of human-related errors. Most importantly, the upgraded Regula 4306M delivers versatile capabilities for in-depth document examination in a space-saving and cost-efficient form, which makes it an affordable solution for any forensic lab.
