Magal to provide security systems to Port of Tarragona
The Port of Tarragona in Spain is to receive an integrated security solution, with technology and services to be delivered by Magal Security Systems under a new $2.1 million contract.
Magal’s taut wire detection will provide full coverage of the port’s perimeter, while its decorative smart fence enforced by microwave sensors and infrared beams will also be supplied. The port’s CCTV legacy coverage will also be extended by 150 new day/night and thermal cameras, and the seaside will be monitored by six new dual technology (thermal and CCD) high resolution cameras, with accurate positioning and intelligent video analytics (using Magal’s MTC 1500i).
New technology, along with the port’s legacy systems will be fully integrated into a new control centre managed by Magal’s advanced command and control platform (Fortis4G), enabling mobile land and marine police to interact with the system.
Joan Bergada, head of the Spanish Harbor Police, said: ‘The port was always secured in a reasonable manner; yet we had a set of diverse systems, each with its own management console. Magal’s Fortis4G enables us to operate our new and legacy systems, as well as PSIM and SIEM, easily and intuitively, through a unified platform. We are looking forward to expanding our coverage and integrating the additional subsystems.’
Miguel A. Lopez Romero, managing director, Magal S3 Espana, added: ‘We are proud to win this prestigious Western European project supporting the Port of Tarragona. They are recognised as a reference in vanguard and innovation, and I truly believe that our contribution will provide them with unprecedented and full situation awareness, as well as event investigation and global audit capabilities.’
