Southwest Wyoming Regional Airport has enhanced its physical security systems with the deployment of Genetec™ Security Center, as part of a comprehensive terminal modernisation initiative.
The airport, located near Rock Springs in Sweetwater County, supports over 11,000 flight operations and serves upwards of 50,000 passengers annually. The security upgrade aligns with the airport's strategic goals, including accommodating future expansions and meeting evolving TSA regulations, as well as facilitating potential new carriers and flight paths.
Terminal modernisation project
The airport collaborated with systems integrator Incline Technology to implement the new security measures. This endeavour aimed to replace outdated video surveillance and access control systems with an adaptable and open platform, enabling future upgrades without the limitations of proprietary technology. Nic Hasler, Founder and President of Incline Technology, explained, “Our vision from the start was to deliver a system for RKS that’s easy to operate and support, and ready for future expansion.”
The installation of Genetec Security Center has unified the video surveillance, access control, and alarm systems under one interface. This integration provides comprehensive visibility across the airport, including the terminal, weather station, fuel station, and Sweetwater Aviation facility. As a result, airport personnel can now effectively manage security incidents and daily operations from a centralised platform.
Security and airport operations
The airport has also benefited from the Quick Search feature in Security Center
According to Devon Brubaker, Airport Director at Southwest Wyoming Regional Airport, “Genetec Security Center brings everything into one place, which helps us manage security and airport operations much more efficiently than before.” This newly-installed foundation paves the way for the airport to enhance its capabilities and improve operations continuously.
The airport has also benefited from the Quick Search feature in Security Center. This functionality speeds up investigations by facilitating quicker review of surveillance footage. Following a theft incident in the airport's micro market, staff used Quick Search to swiftly examine video footage, clarifying the situation within minutes and revealing that the item in question had been mislabelled after purchase.
Brubaker further remarked, “We might be a small airport, but investing in Genetec Security Center allows us to operate like a much larger one. The platform helps us work more efficiently today and sets us up to say yes to new opportunities in the future.”
Genetec Inc., the global pioneer in enterprise physical security software, announces that Southwest Wyoming Regional Airport (RKS) has modernised its physical security operations using Genetec™ Security Center. The airport selected Genetec as part of its terminal modernisation project to support future expansion, evolving Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requirements, and potential new carriers and flight routes.
Located outside Rock Springs in Sweetwater County, Wyoming, the regional airport supports more than 11,000 annual flight operations and serves more than 50,000 passengers annually. The airport recently completed a $43 million commercial terminal modernisation project. As part of the upgrade, airport leaders wanted to replace aging video surveillance and access control systems with an open and flexible platform that would allow them to expand security infrastructure without being locked into proprietary systems.

Working with systems integrator Incline Technology, the airport deployed Genetec Security Center to unify video surveillance, access control, and alarms in a single interface. According to Nic Hasler, Founder and President of Incline Technology, “Our vision from the start was to deliver a system for RKS that’s easy to operate and support, and ready for future expansion.”
With Security Center, the RKS team now has full visibility across the airport terminal, weather station, fuel station, and Sweetwater Aviation facility. This allows them to improve visibility across the airport, respond faster to incidents, and streamline day-to-day security management from one platform.
Security and airport operations
“Genetec Security Center brings everything into one place, which helps us manage security and airport operations much more efficiently than before. We’re only scratching the surface of what the system can do. This is the foundation we needed to keep adding capabilities and enhancing our operations,” said Devon Brubaker, Airport Director at Southwest Wyoming Regional Airport.
Airport staff is also using the Quick Search feature in Security Center to accelerate investigations and reduce the time spent reviewing footage after incidents. After a reported theft in the airport micro market, the team used Quick Search to review footage, identify when the inventory changed, and confirm within minutes that the item had been purchased but mislabelled.
“We might be a small airport, but investing in Genetec Security Center allows us to operate like a much larger one. The platform helps us work more efficiently today and sets us up to say yes to new opportunities in the future,” said Brubaker.
