NICE Integrated Security Solutions Implemented at Lima Metro, the Mass Transit System for Latin America's Fifth Largest City
In its first phase of commercial operations, Lima Metro uses NICE solutions suite to ensure the safety and security of millions of passengers
RA'ANANA, Israel, August 7, 2012/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE) today announced that Lima's electric train authority,
Autoridad Autonoma Tren Electrico (AATE), has implemented NICE's integrated security
solutions at Lima Metro, the new mass transit system for Lima, Peru, which is the fifth
largest city in Latin America. Serving millions of passengers monthly, Lima Metro is using
the NICE solutions portfolio to address security, safety, and operational risks on the
transit system.
The NICE implementation is part of the large-scale Lima Metro project, which, in its
first stage, included deployment at the train system's operational control center as well
as at 16 stations along Line 1. Line 1, which began commercial operations in April 2012,
is a 22 kilometer (13.7 mile) train line that links the southern suburbs of Lima to the
downtown area.
Overseeing the entire project is Lima's Electric Train Consortium, Consorcio Tren
Electrico (CTE), which was chosen by AATE as the main contractor for Line 1. System
integrator Energetica S.A. collaborated with NICE on the installation of the NICE
solutions and is providing ongoing support.
The NICE solutions that have been deployed at Lima Metro include NiceVision, NiceLog
and NICE Inform, which together provide a wide range of security capabilities to maximize
the effective handling of the entire incident lifecycle, from real-time management of the
event to the investigation and debriefing stage. Using these solutions, Lima Metro is able
to capture all voice communications between the control center, the train cars, and the
stations and synchronize these recordings with video surveillance from any of 128 IP video
cameras set up along the transit system in order to accurately reconstruct and investigate
any incident or emergency situation.
The NICE solutions package also offers a high level of redundancy and reliability, as
video recording will be conducted locally at each train station and centrally at the train
system's operational control center.
"NICE was the only company able to provide a multi-layered solution to address Lima
Metro's complete security needs," said AATE Operations Manager Walter Arboleda. "Should an
emergency or operational issue occur, NICE solutions will help Lima Metro personnel better
manage that incident in real time and more thoroughly investigate it after the fact."
"Lima Metro joins a growing list of transit operations that are using NICE's
integrated security solutions to secure people, operations, and infrastructure," said Guy
Yaniv, General Manager of the Surveillance Solutions Division at NICE. "We're excited to
be part of such an important public safety project in this large, metropolitan city. We're
also happy to see the growing adoption of our security solutions in Latin America."
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 solution enables capture, 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. NICE Security solutions empower organizations to act effectively in real
time to prevent, manage and investigate incidents, ensuring fast resolution and
debriefing, and continuous security improvements. NICE Security solutions are deployed
worldwide in transportation systems, critical infrastructures, city centers and enterprise
campuses.
