RA'ANANA, Israel, August 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE) today announced that
Lima's electric train authority,
Autoridad Autónoma Tren Electrico (AATE), has implemented NICE's
integrated security solutions at Lima Metro, the new mass transit system for
Lima, Peru, which is the fifth
largest city in Latin America.
Serving millions of passengers monthly, Lima Metro is using the NICE solutions
portfolio to address security, safety, and operational risks on the
transit system.
The NICE implementation is part of the large-scale Lima Metro project, which, in its first stage,
included deployment at the train system's operational control
center as well as at 16 stations along Line 1. Line 1, which began
commercial operations in April 2012,
is a 22 kilometer (13.7 mile) train line that links the southern
suburbs of Lima to the downtown
area.
Overseeing the entire project is Lima's Electric Train Consortium, Consorcio
Tren Eléctrico (CTE), which was chosen by AATE as the main
contractor for Line 1. System integrator Energetica S.A.
collaborated with NICE on the installation of the NICE solutions
and is providing ongoing support.
The NICE solutions that have been deployed at Lima Metro include NiceVision, NiceLog and
NICE Inform, which together provide a wide range of security
capabilities to maximize the effective handling of the entire
incident lifecycle, from real-time management of the event to the
investigation and debriefing stage. Using these solutions,
Lima Metro is able to capture all
voice communications between the control center, the train cars,
and the stations and synchronize these recordings with video
surveillance from any of 128 IP video cameras set up along the
transit system in order to accurately reconstruct and investigate
any incident or emergency situation.
The NICE solutions package also offers a high level of
redundancy and reliability, as video recording will be conducted
locally at each train station and centrally at the train system's
operational control center.
"NICE was the only company able to provide a multi-layered
solution to address Lima Metro's
complete security needs," said AATE Operations Manager Walter Arboleda. "Should an emergency or
operational issue occur, NICE solutions will help Lima Metro personnel better manage that
incident in real time and more thoroughly investigate it after the
fact."
"Lima Metro joins a growing
list of transit operations that are using NICE's integrated
security solutions to secure people, operations, and
infrastructure," said Guy Yaniv,
General Manager of the Surveillance Solutions Division at NICE.
"We're excited to be part of such an important public safety
project in this large, metropolitan city. We're also happy to see
the growing adoption of our security solutions in Latin America."
The NICE Security Offering addresses the needs of
governments and enterprises with intent-based solutions for
fighting crime and terror, by anticipating, managing and mitigating
safety, security and operational risks. The solution enables
capture, analysis and correlation of data from multiple sensors and
systems, including audio, video, radio, geo-location and web,
providing a framework for fusing data silos into a single, holistic
operational view. NICE Security solutions empower organizations to
act effectively in real time to prevent, manage and investigate
incidents, ensuring fast resolution and debriefing, and continuous
security improvements. NICE Security solutions are deployed
worldwide in transportation systems, critical infrastructures, city
centers and enterprise campuses.
