NICE to Help Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport Bolster Security Capabilities

The Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), which ranks third among the world's busiest airports in aircraft movements and eighth with respect to total passenger traffic, has placed a multi-million dollar order to expand its NICE implementation.

The expansion is part of a strategic modernization initiative to strengthen DFW's security, threat detection, emergency response and risk mitigation capabilities.

Officials with NICE Systems (News - Alert) said that DFW will be deploying the company’s IP video surveillance solution and the NICE Inform incident information management solution.

NICE's video surveillance solutions have been an integral component of DFW's Security Surveillance System for eight years.

With its plan to substantially increase the number of cameras and add modern IP video cameras into the mix, DFW will now deploy an IP video solution from NICE.

DFW will also be upgrading its recording and incident management capabilities with the NICE Inform multimedia incident information management solution.

Company officials said that the NICE solutions will address DFW's growing security requirements while providing a foundation for DFW to migrate to IP video surveillance.

"As one the world's busiest airports and a gateway for many millions of passengers, DFW has built a reputation as a leader in airport security," said Yochai Rozenblat, CEO and president of NICE Americas, in a statement.

"We are honored that DFW has entrusted NICE with its security needs," said Rozenblat.

According to company officials, 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 offering enables capturing, 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.

TMCnet in June reported NICE Systems announcement regarding NICE Back Office Suite, which is targeted at improving workforce compliance, and quality of service in back office operations.

 A comprehensive set of integrated solutions, NICE Back Office Suite combines the company’s NICE IEX (News - Alert) Workforce Management solution with real-time capabilities such as Real-Time Guidance, Process Automation and Compliance in addition to solutions for Quality Management and Performance Management.
