Nedap secures parking at Dubai airport freezone
Dubai, U.A.E
As the leading free zone in the Middle East, Dubai Airport offers excellent facilities and services. The reserved parking areas for tenants illustrate the top-class facilities the free zone offers. With Nedap’s solution for long-range vehicle identification, safe and convenient access control to these areas is guaranteed. This solution was integrated by Alpha Plus Security & Alarm Sys. As the leading free zone services provider in the Middle East, Dubai Airport Freezone (DAFZA) offers integrated business solutions to the global business community. An example of the excellent facilities are the reserved parking areas. To gain control over the entry to the entrances to these areas, a system based on remote controllers was installed. With remote control-
lers, the tenants could control the barriers directly, which resulted in abusing the parking facility. Plus many cases of lost and damaged remote controllers happened and there was no close monitoring of who is actually using the parking facility and when. To add the high level of security that is needed in an environment like an airport free zone, Nedap’s long-range vehicle identification system Upass was installed to provide safe and convenient vehicle access without forcing tenants to stop their vehicle. Every resident uses a UHF Windshield Tag or UHF ISO Card that contains a unique identification number. The Upass Reach, based on UHF (Ultra High Frequency) technology, allows consistent reading of up to 5 metres, so tenants do not have to stop to present
their badge anymore. Automatic vehicle identification ensures a smooth flow of authorised people only and increases the safety of tenants, suppliers and staff. Nedap’s Upass readers are connected to an access control system, which will make the process of rolling out identifiers much easier, in addition to the added security. This solution was integrated by Alpha Plus Security & Alarm Sys., a company that provides professional security solutions for local authorities, industrial and commercial clients. While the security of the reserved parking areas at DAFZA is vastly improved, gaining access at a distance up to 5 metres with Nedap’s Upass Reach is handsfree. This makes gaining access to the areas quick and easy. As a result of the implemented

vehicle access control system, the parking is now better utilised by tenants and the authority. The Nedap solution is easy to manage and to expand. Another benefit for DAFZA is that no maintenance costs are involved. This Nedap solution for long-range vehicle identification was integrated with gate barriers of FAAC and Magnetic, access control of Sensor UK and wireless access points of D-Link.
Milestone provides diverse solution for Hyatt
Copenhagen, Denmark
Milestone Systems, the open platform company in IP video management software (VMS), is helping Hyatt Hotels to standardise a unified video security platform across all its property brands. This allows integrated security and risk management, centralised support and training, remote storage and incident management. Hyatt Hotels owns and manages hundreds of properties worldwide. Until 2013, the company had no standardised CCTV security platform. The disparate video solutions across all the sites were not efficient or effective. “We wanted a global standard and security system we could eventually deploy in all Hyatt properties,” said Mark
Sanna, Corporate Vice President and Head of Global Security, Hyatt Hotels. “We also wanted something that could adapt to a diverse, rapidly expanding enterprise. Milestone VMS made the most sense on both fronts and it’s great to have tiered solutions that meet the needs of different properties.” Hyatt Hotels includes 10 distinct brands and more than 600 properties worldwide with almost $4.5 billion in revenue in 2014. In that year alone, Hyatt experienced rapid growth by adding nearly 100 properties. In December 2012 Sanna commissioned Hyatt’s global security standards project. He reached out to Wade Pinnell, owner of
Virtual Software Equipment & Consulting (VSEC) Services, to assist in choosing Hyatt’s new platform and then implementing the rollout. In addition to Milestone VMS, Hyatt wanted preferred component partners in other aspects of the installation. After careful deliberation, Hyatt chose Axis Communications as its camera provider, Anixter as the distributor and HP/BCDVideo as the server system of choice. “This is going to be a long and complex process because each Hyatt property is unique. But what’s great is that at the core, tying everything together, is Milestone VMS,” said Pinnell. Sanna estimates that Hyatt

has saved tens of thousands of dollars based on the fact that there are significant cost differences in camera licenses between the tiers. In addition, the ability to use the Customer Dashboard and Milestone Interconnect to monitor all the sites from a central location are critical, cost-effective tools for Hyatt.
