Control of strategic public areas is vital for public safety; whether it is a matter of national security or area protection. At one end of the scenario spectrum is protection of the US land and coastal borders, stretching for thousands of miles across dramatically varied terrain and climates, to the equally important public water treatment system of an urban area. The threat concerns for either are continually evolving, becoming more elusive in their subversion. Yet all cases of public safety need vigilance – constant and reliable surveillance. Successful border and area management requires a combination of efficient communication systems, effective process coordination and manpower deployment.
Our focus is on coordination
Ericsson offers tailored solutions capable of meeting specific Border and Area Security needs, from technology to operational processes. Ericsson works with your organization to capture a precise picture of the unique security and communication requirements for your mission. An operational analysis is conducted to develop an overview of the present situation and the desired position. With long-term vision in mind, an explicit plan of action is created. This ensures the management and delivery of the information solution remains focused on the key specifications throughout implementation.
Ericsson combines leading-edge technology with experience of managing complex large-scale projects. Radar, line sensors, point sensors, infra-red and thermal sensors, alongside visual-range cameras, are used to detect, classify and intercept border crossings outside of designated locations. Data and information fusion functionality manages and interprets incoming data from sensors and operatives into one Common Operational Picture (COP). This is an integral part of an optimum response.
Ericsson offers evolutionary, expandable solutions based on open standard technology and Service-Oriented Architecture, which are secure, reliable, scalable and robust. In fact, communications have been Ericsson's core business for over 130 years. Our wide range of experience can ensure that every element, from sensors to decision systems, is fully situation-ready.
Benefits
Real-time situational awareness brings superior decision support which is vital for effective border and area control. Ericsson can show you how combining incident information with other infrastructure data to develop a detailed risk profile.
Shared, accurate, real-time situational awareness also enables agencies to work together effectively, meeting the growing demand for seamless information sharing between security organizations.
