If my tired and well-worn feet are any indication of the prosperity of this tradeshow, this year’s version of Solutions Start Here is a whopping success. The miles covered today at the tradeshow only slightly begin to announce product offerings and the technical expertise available in the security industry.
Here are some of the highlights that I ran across during interviews and booth visits.
I chatted with Fredrik Nilsson, the general manager of Axis Communications, and found out that this company has joined a coalition of public and private partners to support and advance the Safe City initiative. This is a community-based safety program that brings together law enforcement, businesses, residents, city officials and cutting-edge technology designed to protect cities and reduce crime.
Partners in this program will provide the resources, such as financial contributions, technical solutions and ongoing program support, to improve and secure urban area security environments. Axis is providing network cameras and enclosures, on-site assistance, technology training and education.
“Axis’ cameras will be part of the total security solution used in the program,” Nilsson said.
Target Corp. is the process owner of Safe City, and company officials believe that by sharing resources, from team members to technology, the partnership can build safer, more vibrant communities.
I applaud this partnership designed to enhance our environments by reducing crime and partnering with security expertise.
I’m excited about the last day on the tradeshow floor. There are thousands of people to see and hundreds of new technologies to review. I hope the show has been as productive for you as it has been for Security Products magazine.
