Genetec – a leading technology provider of unified security , public safety , operations and business intelligence solutions – has announced that the company ’ s flagship unified security platform , Security Center , has been chosen by Brazil ’ s Hercílio Luz International Airport in Florianópolis ( Floripa ), to manage its physical security infrastructure and provide operational insights .
Named ‘ best airport in Brazil ’ by the Brazilian National Civil Aviation Secretariat ( SAC ), Floripa is one of Brazil ’ s most modern airports . Managed by Zurich Airport Brazil , the airport underwent an extensive expansion project and reopened in October 2019 to accommodate up to eight million passengers a year . Floripa is both a busy travel hub for domestic flights and international destinations throughout South America and a popular shopping and entertainment destination for the local community .
The Genetec platform currently manages over 500 cameras and 210 doors to administrative and critical areas of the terminal , such as boarding , arrivals and customs . Because Genetec Security Center is based on an open platform it can integrate a variety of operational systems and sophisticated analytics tools , such as the ability to identify and track unaccompanied luggage and generate alerts so that appropriate security measures can be taken .
Using the Security Center Plan Manager tool , the airport ’ s security teams can easily visualise and manage their security environments through an intuitive interface that displays the location of events and devices on geographical maps and floor plans .
Vibe Tecnologia adopts a pre-connectorized solution from Furukawa in Alagoas , Brazil
Igreja Nova is one of the oldest municipalities in the state of Alagoas , with a history linked to the exploration of the São Francisco River by fishermen who came from Penedo in the 19th century .
David Cavalcante Rodrigues , Owner , Vibe Tecnologia , said : “ The main objective was to minimize problems such as the lack of specialized technicians for network installation .”
It was the city chosen by Vibe Tecnologia , a provider of Internet services in Alagoas , to deploy its first FTTH fiber optic network with a pre-connectorized solution from Furukawa .
For this reason , he himself installed the aerial infrastructure of the fiber optic networks in the cities served by the company . The first was Campo Alegre , in the countryside , four years ago .
Last year , Vibe Tecnologia began to expand its operations to other municipalities in Alagoas and decided to try the pre-connectorized solution from Furukawa in Igreja Nova .
“ As it already comes with factory-ready connectors and eliminates the need for field fusion , the solution greatly facilitates network installation . And you do not need a highly trained professional to do this job ,” said Rodrigues .
With the training provided by Furukawa , he and a technician from Vibe Tecnologia installed the network in Igreja Nova , currently with 170 points in 12 locations . Regarding the quality of the service provided by the network , Rodrigues states that customer feedback has been positive .
