The competition, organised by Dubai-based event-management company Arabian Reach, aims to recognise best practise and significant achievements in the industry and spans categories ranging from Best Airport Design and Planning to Best Communications Service Provider, and even Airport Cargo Personality of the Year. CEM Systems was awarded Best Airport Security System.
The awards ceremony, which took place on 1 June at Al Bustan Rotana hotel, Dubai, UAE, recognised CEM for its achievements in the security system at Indira Gandhi International Airport, Delhi, Terminal 3.
CEM’s AC2000 security management system, installed by ADT India, has been described as “one of the biggest IP based access control systems in the region”.
“Flagship” security system for India and South East Asia
“CEM is delighted to be named winner of this year’s Emerging Market Airport Awards”, said Philip Verner, sales and marketing manager for the company.
“CEM has been successfully securing airports around the world for over 25 years, including 80% of UK airports, and as such is involved in many airport development projects within emerging markets. The installation at Indira Gandhi International Airport Terminal 3 was a huge project and marked a flagship security system for India and South East Asia.”
“Both ADT India and CEM Systems were delighted to be involved in the Indira Gandhi Terminal 3 project,” said Ramesh Jayaraman, managing director, ADT India.
“The system offers a fully integrated IP based access control and video solution, with approximately 40,000 cardholders, 3,500 card readers and over 2,600 network video recorders within the system design. The installation also marked the first fully integrated control centre in the region.”
CEM IP card readers were installed throughout airside/landside boundaries with S610f fingerprint readers installed at critical security points. IP readers used existing Ethernet connectivity at the airport and were used to tighten up security operations such as check-in-desk enabling, air-bridge monitoring and passenger segregation. For roaming security measures S3020 portable readers were also chosen.
