Digital Barriers and G4S Announce Technology Partnership to Enhance Public Safety
OREANDA-NEWS. Digital Barriers plc, the specialist provider of visually intelligent solutions to the global surveillance, security and safety markets, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with G4S, the world's leading global, integrated security company specialising in the delivery of security and related services.
The partnership will see G4S offer the unique ThruVis capability from Digital Barriers to provide a level of security for crowded public spaces including transportation hubs and sporting, leisure and other special events that has not been available until now. ThruVis is a special camera that can detect threats concealed under clothing, such as weapons or explosives, without disrupting the throughput of people across transportation networks and into large event centres, stadiums or other crowded public spaces. ThruVis is mobile, discreet and rapidly deployed. It has been used effectively by government agencies around the world and is now being made available across the broader public safety market for the first time.
G4S recognises the need to provide greater protection of crowded public spaces in light of recent terrorist atrocities, but that by doing this it risks degrading the passenger or visitor experience due to lengthy queues on entry. ThruVis is an ideal solution to this challenge.
Zak Doffman, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Barriers commented:
"Our partnership with G4S will help to secure public spaces and event venues globally, providing an additional layer of security that is not in place today. ThruVis has already been used around the world by government agencies to protect the public from acts of terrorism, now we hope to extend this to help protect the public from attacks on so-called soft target locations."
Eric Alexander, Managing Director, G4S Events commented:
"G4S is embracing cutting edge-technology and working with industry partners such as Digital Barriers to provide solutions that protect the public from sophisticated and covert threats. G4S is supporting this technology as a unique way to secure event venues, significantly enhancing traditional security measures such as metal detectors and baggage checks.
"ThruVis provides a higher level of protection and deterrence whilst reducing queue times, improving the visitor experience, and because it's a passive camera it does so without any issues of safety or privacy. Given recent events we see this as an inevitable additional security measure that will rapidly become commonplace."
