MAGAL AWARDED CONTRACTS TOTALING US$ 7.5 MILLION FOR THE PROTECTION OF TWO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS
Magal Security Systems, Ltd. (NASDAQ GMS: MAGS, TASE: MAGS) announced today that it has been awarded contracts totaling approximately US$ 7.5 million to protect two international airports in South East Asia and North Africa. Both projects are based on turnkey solutions, and will be completed during 2009.
The project in
South East Asia is based on the DTR 2000 Taut Wire System and MagBar Intrusion
Grids, as the first security layer and the Omnitrax Buried Cable, as the second
security layer. An array of both stationary and PTZ cameras will be deployed
along the perimeter to verify incoming alarms. Some of the fixed cameras will
have Intelligent Video Analysis capabilities. In addition, the customer has
decided to add radar coverage, which will be integrated with Magal's MTC 1500E
Thermal Camera.
The various layers of sensors and all of the systems will feed into a Command and Control Center that will be managed by Magal’s FORTIS C4I Management Software. The control center will communicate with patrol cars in the airport’s vicinity by means of a wireless LAN and will be able to transmit video and data to the vehicles, thus enabling a higher level of security for the airport.
The project in North Africa utilizes the IntelliFiber Fiber Optic Outdoor Intrusion Detection System and Magnet Security Management System. Following completion of the installation, management expects the project to be expanded to enable the incorporation of additional surveillance capabilities.
