The extensive project spans multiple disciplines and has showcased RISCO Group’s capability for creating tailor-made solutions

A comprehensive security solution designed to deliver tight security and safety measures at the 2014 World Cup games in Brazil, was selected for supply by global integrated security solutions provider, RISCO Group.

Installed at the all-new 44,000 capacity Arena Pantanal in Cuiaba, RISCO Group’s powerful Command & Control solution, access control and customised ticketing and validation system, was provided for management and control via the stadium’s central control room.

Ensuring the highest levels of security for all visitors to the stadium during the World Cup games, RISCO Group’s SynopSYS Integrated Security and Building Management™ Command & Control solution, based on intuitive synoptic maps, integrated all security and building management systems and subsystems, including those from third parties, into a single interface.

Providing protection from unauthorised entry and counterfeit tickets by securing hundreds of doors and turnstiles within the stadium, RISCO Group’s axesplus® access control solution and FIFA compliant specialised ticketing validation system was also incorporated for central control from the stadium’s main Command & Control Room.

Custom designed for one of the world’s foremost sporting events, the extensive project spans multiple disciplines and has showcased RISCO Group’s capability for creating tailor-made solutions that can fulfil the most stringent of security and operational demands.
