Anchorage Airport To Deploy AMAG Technology's Symmetry Homeland Security Management System

  • Jul 25, 2008

Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport has partnered with Siemens Building Technologies to install AMAG Technology’s Symmetry Homeland Security Management System throughout the entire airport.

Symmetry Homeland is AMAG’s government approved security management system. Anchorage International Airport chose an unrestricted Enterprise Level, cluster-aware, fault-tolerant solution to ensure system operability at all times. Symmetry Homeland will integrate with the airport’s existing Verint video management system and StentoFon’s intercom system.

"This is an exciting opportunity for both Siemens and AMAG to partner on a project of this magnitude,” said Siemens Building Technologies General Manager -- Alaska, Leverette G. Hoover. “There will definitely be some challenges with keeping the existing system operational, while bringing the new system on-line, but the Siemens Alaska Team is ready to take on this challenge face-to-face and ensure a successful project. By teaming with AMAG, the two best teams were selected to ensure for a safe and secure airport."

AMAG’s Symmetry M2150 8DBC panels met the airport’s strict requirement of installing ROHS Complaint products. ROHS regulations restrict the use of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBE and PBDE in electronic and electrical equipment, enforcing environmentally conscious manufacturing standards. AMAG Technology was the basis of the design on the specification.

Symmetry Homeland’s platform and database along with its scalability will continue to meet the airport’s needs as it grows.

  • The Stage is Set

    The security industry spans the entire globe, with manufacturers, developers and suppliers on every continent (well, almost—sorry, Antarctica). That means when regulations pop up in one area, they often have a ripple effect that impacts the entire supply chain. Recent data privacy regulations like GDPR in Europe and CPRA in California made waves when they first went into effect, forcing businesses to change the way they approach data collection and storage to continue operating in those markets. Even highly specific regulations like the U.S.’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) can have international reverberations – and this growing volume of legislation has continued to affect global supply chains in a variety of different ways.
