On the Playing Field

Oh, by the way, sports is a big deal in Mexico City. Of course, futbol, is a big deal and believe it or not, Real Madrid is a favorite. Here is a very small sampling of my own survey.

Basketball. Not a favorite sport, but when the conversation gets to the hardwoods, the Lakers and Milwaukee top the list.

Hockey. Don't even think about it.

Baseball. Of course there are local teams Los Diablos, but fan favorites in the United States are Atlanta and the New York Yankees. What happened to the LA Dodgers?

Football. No question here. Dallas Cowboys.

The modular make-up of the barrier also allows you to cover wider roadways by adding additional modules to the system. The HD2055 boasts an Emergency Fast Operation of 1.5 seconds giving the guard ample time to deploy under a high threat situation.

A8V MIND

Hexagon’s Geosystems presents a portable version of its Accur8vision detection system. A rugged all-in-one solution, the A8V MIND (Mobile Intrusion Detection) is designed to provide flexible protection of critical outdoor infrastructure and objects. Hexagon’s Accur8vision is a volumetric detection system that employs LiDAR technology to safeguard entire areas. Whenever it detects movement in a specified zone, it automatically differentiates a threat from a nonthreat, and immediately notifies security staff if necessary. Person detection is carried out within a radius of 80 meters from this device. Connected remotely via a portable computer device, it enables remote surveillance and does not depend on security staff patrolling the area.
