Adesta Helps Secure Port of Baltimore
November 9, 2005
Adesta LLC, an Omaha, Neb.-based systems integrator, signed a $5.5 million contract with the Maryland Port Administration to design and install a sophisticated security system at the Port of Baltimore. The project will include the installation of a remote video surveillance system as well as enhancements to terminal perimeter security. The expected completion date for the project is fall 2006.
The system will provide the Port with total perimeter security and includes a fully scalable communications and electronic security network. The perimeter security measures include closed circuit television, video analytics by VistaScape Security Systems, and force protection for all terminals located at the Port. Real time intrusion detection technology and thermal and low light cameras will allow security personnel to monitor fences, terminals, gates, and piers in order to quickly respond to suspicious activities. The communications network will be a wide area network, with both wireless and fiber optic links to connect the public terminals.
