The Sultanate of Oman, located in the Persian Gulf, has a population of 2,9M citizens and residents (2004). Although 68% of the Sultanate's revenues derive from Oil, the economy also relies on non-oil producing sectors, such as agriculture, industry, tourism, mining and fishing. The ROP's objective was to build a state of the art solution and to offer best-of-breed services to the citizens and residents of Oman. After a strict and professional bid tender selection process managed by the ROP, in October of 2002, Gemplus was awarded the contract to deliver the first smart card-based identity solution ever to be deployed in the Middle East. In order to achieve its ID program objectives, Oman chose to capitalize on the security and convenience advantages enabled by smart chip card technology.
