NICE Systems, the global provider of advanced solutions that enable organizations to extract Insight from Interactions(tm) to drive performance, today announced it has been selected by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) to supply NICE's NiceVision(r) Digital Video Surveillance Solution as part of a CCTV core systems upgrade for the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport..

Gunvir Baveja, President and CEO of eVigilant, system integrators for Reagan National comment on the project, "As an integrator for a project of this scope, we have to provide high levels of security without interrupting or slowing passenger flow.  Because NICE has been providing security surveillance systems for airports around the world for years, they allow us to meet these challenges and provide our client with the best suited digital video technologies available."

The airports' planned security system enhancement involves the decommissioning and removal of an existing video server and recording system currently maintained in the airport operations computer room.  The old system is currently being replaced with new NICE high-resolution digital video recorders capable of sustaining numerous cameras and providing the infrastructure and integration potential to support video content applications for real-time threat detection and analysis.

NiceVision's open architecture platform provides a safe and easy-to-manage operating environment, which easily integrates with any supplementary security and communication systems.

"We are very pleased to be selected for this high level airport security project," said Ian Ehrenberg, vice president and general manager of NiceVision.  "We are currently deployed at a large number of airport facilities and are rapidly becoming the preferred choice for both the operative and directive levels.  The continuing preference of NICE by this market is a testimony to the quality of our products and the reputation of our company."
