RA'ANANA, Israel, May 18, 2011 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NICE
Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: NICE), today announced that China's Tianjin Metro will be implementing
NiceVision's IP video security solution with video analytics to
enhance the safety and security of 23 stations along its Line 2
route. This implementation will constitute the ninth deployment of
NICE security solutions across different lines and cities in
China's mass transit system, once
again further expanding the company's footprint in the country
beyond Beijing.
Line 2 of the Tianjin Metro is
a mostly underground rapid transit line, running from 23.5 km from
west to east of the city. The NiceVision IP video security solution
will provide seamless surveillance of the railway, its tracks,
stations and passengers. The solution will deliver real-time alerts
directly to the metro's security personnel on incidents such as
unauthorized entry. This will enable them to detect and verify
incidents early. This resulting increase in situational awareness
will help to mitigate risks, enhance passenger safety and better
protect metro assets. The NICE solution will also enable the
metro's security personnel to keep track of the number of people at
multiple entries and exits. This trend analysis capability provides
business insight that can be utilized to enhance commuter service
levels.
Raghav Sahgal, President,
Asia Pacific, said, "This is
another project which shows the positive momentum our security
solutions for mass transit are enjoying in the Chinese market.
Nearly two dozen major cities have received approval from the
Minister of Railways in China in
late 2009, to build 89 metro lines by 2016. Tianjin is among these cities. Accordingly, we
are seeing a rise in demand in China for advanced video surveillance that can
effectively protect passengers. Our non-intrusive IP-based video
surveillance address these needs, enabling comprehensive coverage
without disturbing operational integrity- a key consideration for
transit environments. We are happy to have been chosen for this
project and to be taking a leading role in the country's expansive
mass transit system."
