AxxonSoft praised for security and infrastructure solutions provided during the FIFA World Cup in Russia

AxxonSoft technology speaks to product simplicity, ease-of-use and advanced functionality during the FIFA World Cup in Russia.

Within the framework of preparation for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, AxxonSoft's tech support customised settings on more than 1,350 video channels at 3 stadiums and at a central monitoring station to meet the Ministry of Internal Affairs' needs through a centralised monitoring system. AxxonSoft, in collaboration with this global high calibre event, launched this state-of-the-art technology system within just 1 month, utilising team members to rollout.

Videos were streamed from stadiums and surrounding territories, fan zones, and other locations deemed critical from the point of security

Situational video analytics

AxxonSoft's Intellect software managed a total of 960 video surveillance channels at Samara Arena, Mordovia Arena, and RZD Arena — the latter of which was used as a training base for referees. 250 of those channels employed AxxonSoft's situational video analytics to monitor the stadiums, 41 license plate recognition channels to monitor vehicle traffic, and 9 facial recognition channels to monitor for individuals prohibited from accessing the stadiums. Video monitoring was also integrated with access control, fire and security alarm systems.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs' central monitoring station, powered by AxxonSoft's Intellect PSIM platform, pooled over 390 video channels from all 11 World Cup host cities with video feeds displayed on an interactive map. Videos were streamed from stadiums and surrounding territories, fan zones, and other locations deemed critical from the point of security for participants and guests of the World Cup.

Integrated access control software

The World Cup stadium security project included requests to integrate access control software, as well as develop a screen manager to adaptably manage camera layout and the video wall. These functions were successfully implemented at the World Cup stadiums and will be incorporated in Intellect 4.11.0.

Over 9,000 Intellect-powered video surveillance cameras were used to monitor the security of over 2 million spectators

The Intellect PSIM platform was employed in various areas of 10 out of the 12 stadiums where 49 World Cup matches were played. Over 9,000 Intellect-powered video surveillance cameras were used to monitor the security of over 2 million spectators who attended the games. AxxonSoft software was also widely used at training camps, fan zones, transportation infrastructure, and other sites where teams and fans arrived and moved around the country.

Advanced stadium security technology

“The team at AxxonSoft were really excited to be part of a project of this calibre. We were able to demonstrate product simplicity, ease-of-use and advanced functionality through our stadium security technology. The FIFA World Cup was a great success in Russia and just proves how we can work together with top agencies and companies to provide a safe environment for all,” says Global Marketing Director for AxxonSoft, Colleen Glaeser.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino called the 2018 World Cup the best in its history. In addition to commenting on match attendance and television viewership numbers, Infantino gave high praise to the quality of infrastructure and security.
